The advantages are many and we have all the expertise to guide you. Happy reading.


The benefits of a streaming service tailored for smart TV

"On a global level, the share of households that own a smart TV is expected to be above 50% by 2026" ("Global Smart TV Shipment and Installed Base Forecast for 88 Countries : 2011 to 2026", Strategy Analytics). The Smart TV market (connected TVs) has been thriving for several years, following the same trend as cell phone. Mobile applications are now at the heart of our consumption, leisure and work habits. Similarly, smart TV apps are becoming essential as they represent a new demand and new needs. It is a reality we all observe in our private lives and a trend that we all have to master in the professional sphere.

So, why such a boom? What are the benefits for your audience? Simplified use of your platform on a TV screen thanks to a remote control (with a dedicated application, there's no more hassle with connections and preparations: it won't stop your audience from subscribing anymore), limitation of technical problems (difficulties sometimes encountered when "casting" content), personalization and freedom of choice, etc.

From a business perspective, launching a streaming application for smart TV is above all a growth opportunity and a competitive advantage. The demand is there, yet today only a few streaming offers are available on connected TVs. It is a great way for you to stand out, to distinguish yourself from your competitors. You can introduce your platform to a wider audience, to people you might have never reached, and build loyalty.
