The perspective of distribution in the context of a booming VoD market. Keynote by Randall Broman
Until recently, streaming video services in Ukraine were considered to be developing rather slowly, but their popularity grew rapidly during the quarantine restrictions of 2020, which coincided with the global VoD boom.
The session is organized in partnership with La Fabrique des Formats (France).
“The VoD market is growing rapidly, today it represents about 10% of a global business on a European scale, but with its level of growth, it will have a major economic position in 5 to 10 years. Also, according to the European Audiovisual Observatory, a strong presence of VoD in Europe – Netflix and Amazon are implanted in the 27 member countries of the EU, YouTube Premium, and Apple TV in 26. All this proves the importance of building up a program distribution sector in Europe, in a context of the strengthening of platforms, especially American ones. A strengthening in which Ukraine and globally Eastern Europe must find their place”, – comments Mr. Broman.
