Escalating demand for live streaming apps is expected to be one of the key factors boosting the music & entertainment apps market growth.

Furthermore, lockdowns imposed worldwide in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak have positively impacted the growth of OTT applications as people continue to engage in leisure activities. As a result, the average amount of time spent on OTT applications has increased drastically during the pandemic. Therefore, entertainment applications have witnessed a sudden boost in demand. However, the re-opening of economies by governments post the pandemic containment is expected to bring the year-on-year growth in the entertainment app segment to normal levels.
