CLEVELAND, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- US television licensing revenues, the fastest-growing segment of the broader US motion picture and video industry, are projected to climb at an average annual rate of 7.4% through 2020. Advances will reflect continued adoption of internet-based subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services among consumers, as well as related expansion of SVOD license contracts to encompass more content from studios' catalogs. Viewership is expected to continue to shift from traditional over-the-air, cable, and satellite broadcast to video-on-demand (VOD) in free and subscription-based varieties, as well as from set-top VOD to OTT (ie, over-the-top) varieties. In the interim, however, intensifying fragmentation across viewing formats will continue to boost licensing activity.

These findings are featured in Motion Pictures & Video: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports, a division of The Freedonia Group. http://www.freedoniagroup.com/freedonia-focus/FF95034/motion-pictures-and-video-united-states.htm
