Russia Over the Top (OTT) Market Trends:

Increasing Internet Penetration and Smartphone Adoption

With the increasing availability of high-speed internet, watching streaming content on mobile devices is becoming easier, enabling viewers to enjoy entertainment while on the move. The accessibility of smartphones is allowing a broader audience to access over the top (OTT) platforms easily, resulting in more users and higher viewers of content. This pattern is also reinforced by improvements in internet infrastructure and government initiatives to promote digital accessibility. The growing popularity of watching content on mobile devices, especially among younger users who favor mobile-centric viewing over traditional television (TV), is positively influencing the market in Russia. Furthermore, manufacturers are releasing devices with larger screens, higher resolutions, and improved processing power, which is enhancing the experience of streaming content on smartphones. In 2023, Russia unveiled the R-PHONE, a domestically produced smartphone featuring a 6.7" AMOLED display and powered by the new Rosa Mobile operating system. The OS included essential services like an app store and cloud service.

Rise of Localized Content Offerings

The growing need for culturally appropriate material is encouraging OTT platforms to provide more content tailored for local viewers. This refers to not only Russian-language movies and television programs, but also material that reflects specific local cultural traits and interests. These options are expanding the attractiveness of OTT services, attracting viewers who were hesitant to move away from traditional broadcasters. Collaborations between OTT platforms and local production companies are also resulting in the development of unique content, setting these platforms apart from traditional television. The success of localized content is leading to higher user engagement and a growing subscriber base, assisting to establish OTT services as a key player in the entertainment industry. This trend underscores the importance of culturally tailored content. TelecomDaily reported that the investment in original content reached R54 billion (€575 million) in the first quarter and is projected to surpass R207 billion by 2023.

Growing Popularity of Smart TV

More households are investing in smart TVs, streaming sticks, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes, which are making it easier for people to access OTT platforms. These devices enable users to stream high-definition content on large screens, making OTT services particularly appealing for families and groups who enjoy watching together. The inclusion of voice assistants and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven content recommendations enhances user convenience by providing personalized viewing experiences. Additionally, collaborations between device manufacturers and OTT platforms, such as pre-installed apps and bundled subscription offers, are encouraging the adoption of these services. The increasing penetration of smart TVs and connected devices is broadening the reach of OTT platforms, leading to greater user engagement and a growing subscriber base in Russia. TAdviser reported that as of July 8, 2024, the production of BBK, Hyundai, and Telefunken brand TVs in Russia saw a 30-70% increase in 2023.
