This growth is due to the increasing usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision models, optical character recognition (OCR), and audio recognition in broadcast, which also overcomes the limitations of detecting facial features of humans and can work anytime, under different weather conditions. Along with the use of AI, there is also a significant rise of streaming platforms such as ESPN+, NBC Sports Gold, DAZN, Disney+ Hotstar, Sony LIV, etc. In October 2023, Bleden Inc. announced the Partner Alliance Ecosystem Program, which enables companies to overcome complexities associated with digital transformation.

The rapid technological evolvement in sports broadcasting and streaming is set to undergo with the introduction of 5G technology. The technological implementation boosted the market which provides a new way for broadcasters and streaming devices to stream sports, which provides fans with a seamless and uninterrupted experience of watching sports in real time. Furthermore, 5G technology helps the broadcaster to deliver high-definition content with low-latency to consumers irrespective of any device. Broadcasters are setting up more camera angles and enhanced graphics, aiding broadcasters to deliver immersive, interactive experiences, allowing viewers to access additional content and engage with the broadcast streaming in real-time. The advanced streaming technology offers high-quality content with low-latency to the consumers, offering a better viewing experience than the traditional broadcast methods. Integration of 5G also helps broadcasters and consumers to have interactive experiences like fantasy sports and virtual reality content, opening new doors for engaging with subscribers and creating additional opportunities for earning money.

The key players in the market are developing broadcasting technology by using virtual and augmented reality. This improves the viewing experience of fans by involving them in virtual stadiums, complete with 360-degree views, interactive features, and event players' perspectives. AR and VR are expected to improve, potentially allowing viewers to watch games from various camera angles or even choose their virtual seats in the stadium. AR graphics can be used to illustrate complex plays, enhancing the viewer's understanding of the game. For instance, during a football match, AR can highlight player movements and strategic formations, providing deeper insights into the tactical aspects of the game. The true potential of AR and VR in sports broadcasting lies in their combined applications. By integrating both technologies, broadcasters can create experiences that seamlessly blend the real and virtual worlds. The adoption of custom AI models in the market helps broadcasters provide real-time translations during the broadcast, as each sport has a global audience and language barrier that the integration of AI models can overcome. This enables fans from different places to understand feedback in real-time data, resulting in a more inclusive experience, with the ability of AI to process real-time data, capture gameplay from different camera angles, and also to make the sports streaming more enchanting and immersive for fans around the world.
