Video Player Market Size Worth $178.26 Million By 2028

Video Player Market Growth & Trends

The global video player market size is expected to reach USD 178.26 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of -12.6% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing number of other channels of entertainment such as OTT (over-the-top) platforms, and streaming websites, in developed regions, are the major restraining factors for the video player market growth.

However, increasing technological developments in this Blu-ray technology such as the creation of new formats, like High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), which has led to a substantial reduction in the Blu-ray media content size. These developments have allowed storing more content in the same Blu-ray disc. This may help to increase demand for Blu-ray players.

Due to the dropping prices of DVD and Blu-ray players, consumers are expected to take on these video players. Additionally, video games and movie distributors are also offering combo offers and major discounts to gain new consumers towards this technology. These factors may help to increase demand for video players.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted adversely and triggered the downfall of the already declining video player market. Massive adoption of online streaming services and subscriptions has been observed as the source of entertainment between the populations across the globe hence driving the online streaming services. However, it had a negative impact on the video player market.

The purchase of video players has already decreased and it got further confirmed during the COVID-19. The supply chains and transportation services were halted due to the lockdown situation which resulted in a halt on the shipment of video plyers and thus contributing to the market decline.

1080P Blu-ray player type segment contributed revenue share of more than 70.0% in the global market in 2021, due to its increasing demand for DVD players. Blu-ray discs used in Blu-ray players have better features, as compared to DVDs, such as high capacity, re-writable, high speed of data transfer, scratch resistance, high picture quality, hardware compatibility, and relatively long life. Thus, all these factors may drive the sales of 1080P Blu-ray players over DVD players in coming years. Furthermore, growing demand for 1080P Blu-ray players from developing regions may further propel the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

The offline distribution channel segment contributed to the highest revenue share of more than 80.0%in the global market during 2021. The segment includes specialty stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, independent retail stores; etc. Design of the organized retail sector has guaranteed better visibility of consumer electronic products. Moreover, the growing organized retail sector in emerging economies such as China, and Japan may further enrich the demand for video players, during the forecast period.

North America holds the majority of share in this market. This can be credited to the rapid adoption of Blu-ray technology appliances within this region. However, the growing penetration of 4K HD Blu-ray players in homes and several other places is hampering the growth of the video player market. Also, major key players are ending the production of DVD and Blu-ray player series in this region.
