As binge-watching and mobile viewing become the norm, industry stakeholders must adapt their offerings, focusing on innovative content delivery and expanded local productions to remain competitive in this evolving landscape.

Local special circumstances: In Norway, the TV & Video market is shaped by a unique blend of geographical and cultural factors that set it apart from other regions. The country's vast landscapes and dispersed population drive the demand for flexible streaming services, as many consumers reside in remote areas with limited cable access. Culturally, there is a strong preference for local narratives that reflect Norwegian identity, prompting platforms to invest in homegrown content. Additionally, stringent regulations on foreign media content ensure that local productions thrive, fostering a competitive environment that prioritizes regional storytelling and viewer engagement.

Norway's strong GDP per capita and low unemployment rate bolster disposable income, allowing consumers to invest in multiple streaming subscriptions. Global trends toward digital consumption further amplify this demand, as consumers increasingly favor on-demand content. Additionally, favorable fiscal policies supporting cultural industries and investments in broadband infrastructure enhance accessibility, particularly in rural areas. These elements collectively create a robust environment for local content production and streaming services, shaping the market's growth trajectory.

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Traditional TV & Home Video and OTT (over-the-top) Services. All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on digital goods or subscriptions in the respective segment. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / Segment size:

The segment size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the segment size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant segment. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.
