Market Overview and Report Coverage

 

The streaming media device market has seen exponential growth in recent years, driven by the increasing consumer demand for on-demand content, the rapid proliferation of high-speed internet, and the shift from traditional cable TV to streaming services. Streaming media devices, including smart TVs, streaming sticks, set-top boxes, and gaming consoles, enable users to access content from platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and YouTube directly on their televisions or other display devices.

 

According to Infinium Global Research, the global streaming media device market is expected to grow significantly from 2023 to 2030. This growth is fueled by the rising adoption of Over-The-Top (OTT) services, advancements in streaming technology, and the growing trend of cord-cutting, where consumers cancel their cable or satellite TV subscriptions in favor of streaming services. Additionally, the increasing integration of voice control and AI-driven recommendation systems into streaming devices is further enhancing the user experience and driving market demand.
