“As a result of the proliferation of broadband and connected devices consumers have more choices than ever in how, when, and where they connect with movies, TV, music, and games,” according to Michael Goodman, Director, Digital Media Strategies. “As consumer adoption of online alternatives grows the degree of disruption felt by traditional distribution models is accelerating.”

2. SVOD subscriptions will consolidate around the big four – Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV+.
3. Both traditional media companies and undercapitalized and underperforming privately-held digital pure plays become logical M & A candidates.
4. Ultra HD TV sales will flourish.
