Video on demand is becoming a part of everyday lives for many. According to a study by Nielsen, around 43% said that they watch some form of VOD at least once in a day. Numbers are as usual high in the Gen z and Millennial age groups. Around 20% of the ‘Silent Generation’ and around 25% of Baby Boomers report to be watching VOD content at least once a day. Movies are highest consumed, around 80% say so. This is followed by on-demand TV programmes(50%).
