In 2019, leading companies introduced their SVOD platforms, including Comcast (Peacock), AT&T (HBO Max), and Disney (Disney+) These providers are aiming to knock Netflix off its perch.
It has also been stated that the increased competition in this field has caused a content war. Nevertheless, content alone won’t be enough to dominate the market. GlobalData suggests each platform should have an intuitive user interface that is aided by AI.
