Is AVOD the Game-Changer in Streaming? Is there a clear winner between SVOD and AVOD? The streaming industry has witnessed a remarkable surge in recent years, with over-the-top subscription services dominating TV viewership and challenging traditional cable and broadcast channels. However, this growth has led to a new challenge for consumers: managing multiple subscriptions, rising premium prices, and financial constraints. In response to these challenges, streaming platforms are innovating to retain and attract customers without burdening their wallets. One of the most impactful strategies has been the rise of Ad-supported Video-On-Demand (AVOD), where ads serve as the primary revenue source. This approach not only offers a more affordable option for consumers but also fuels the rapid growth of the streaming market. SVOD (Subscription Video-On-Demand) and AVOD represent two distinct models, each with its strengths and appeal. While SVOD provides ad-free viewing for a premium, AVOD introduces a cost-effective alternative by integrating ads into the viewing experience. The competition between these models raises the question: Is there a clear winner between SVOD and AVOD?

🍿 Shifting trends in streaming: What's next for #SVoD and #AvoD in Australia? Worldpanel by Kantar’s latest #EoD on the Australian video streaming market, uncovered that advertising-based video on demand (AVoD) services are on the rise. A growth which reflects a shift towards more affordable, ad-supported content. Subscription video on demand (SVoD) services, however, are facing criticism despite being ad-free. Subscribers are unhappy with rising costs and a lack of new content, leading them to question the value of these services. Interestingly, AVoD subscribers, such as those on BINGE and Paramount are more satisfied compared to SVoD users. This highlights a shift in content consumption preferences, emphasizing the need for media and entertainment businesses to adapt to evolving consumer expectations to stay competitive.
