In Europe, the OTT market is relatively developed and competitive in comparison to other geographies, with many local cable/pay-TV players as well as mobile operators entering the market through leveraging their existing customer bases. International players such as Netflix and Amazon still remain major players across Europe, however they are facing increasingly tough competition in markets such as Russia, France, and Germany where the demand for more localized content is better satisfied by local OTT providers. OTT providers should look towards video content strategies that deliver a more comprehensive portfolio of both local and international content.
