Though most people think video downloading will wipe out the DVD business, Kagan Research forecasts that U.S. consumer spend on VOD by 2016 will still be smaller by a wide margin. The company forecasts that U.S. consumer spending on video on demand and pay per view will be one-quarter the consumer spend on U.S. home video in a decade.
U.S. on-demand programming is forecast to grow at a 12 percent compound annual growth rate over the next decade, reaching $8.7 bil. by 2016. The CAGR for U.S. home video software will be under 3 percent over the same period, yet on a total dollar basis it still remains much larger, Kagan researchers argue.
