"Streaming Fatigue, Consolidation, and Content Dominance: Analyzing the Evolving Streaming Services Industry"
Streaming Services Industry: Current State Analysis (May 16, 2025)
The streaming services industry continues to experience significant shifts as consumer behaviors evolve. According to the latest report from Edison Research released today, there's a notable rise in "streaming fatigue" with a steep drop in multi-service audio subscriptions as consumers face burnout from too many options. This trend is creating unexpected opportunities for traditional media, with AM/FM radio maintaining its audience share despite digital competition[1].
The financial outlook for the streaming market remains strong despite these challenges. Industry data released on May 11th indicates the global media streaming market is projected to reach USD 108.73 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 8.6%. Looking ahead, the market is expected to expand to USD 193.84 billion by 2032[3].
Consolidation continues to reshape the competitive landscape. Earlier this month, Roku Inc. entered into an agreement to acquire streaming service provider Frndly TV, signaling ongoing efforts by major platforms to expand their offerings through strategic acquisitions[3].
Content remains king in the battle for subscribers. Major platforms including Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, and Tubi have all announced their new content lineups for May 2025[4]. Hulu's May roster features the second season of surprise hit "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" launching yesterday (May 15), along with Nicole Kidman's "Nine Perfect Strangers" returning for its sophomore season. The platform will also see one of its flagship shows, "The Handmaid's Tale," air its series finale on May 27[2].
As streaming platforms compete for consumer attention, the North American market continues to dominate with expected revenues of USD 50.66 billion in 2025, while the Asia Pacific region, led by India and China, is emerging as the next growth frontier, projected to capture approximately 40% of global market revenue this year[3].
