Surging Internet Penetration Fueling Global Demand for Video Streaming

The rising popularity of various social media platforms is one of the major factors responsible for the surging demand for video streaming across the world. With the increasing penetration of the internet and the soaring internet speeds in several countries, the popularity of video streaming is rising rapidly across the world. For example, according to several reports, video content on various social media platforms such as YouTube demonstrated a growth of as much as 99% in 2017.



Currently, more than 40% of the total population of the world is engaged in various social media platforms, with over 3 billion users of these platforms across the globe. Moreover, as per various studies, there was a year-over-year (Y-o-Y) growth of as much as 14% in the number of social media users all over the world from 2017 to 2018. Apart from these factors, the increasing internet connectivity is also propelling the demand for video streaming across the world. 

The ballooning popularity of video streaming services such as Netflix Inc. is also positively impacting the popularity of video streaming throughout the world. This is, in turn, driving the advancement of the global market for video streaming. According to the estimates of P&S Intelligence, a market research company based in India, the valuation of the market will grow from $245.3 billion in 2018 to $688.7 billion by 2024. Furthermore, the market will progress at a CAGR of 19.1% during 2019–2024.

According to reports, the total number of internet users increased by nearly 1.3 billion from December 2014 to March 2019. Moreover, this number grew to 4.4 billion by March 2019. As per the Global Internet Phenomena Report published by Sandvine, nearly 58% of the total downstream internet traffic across the world is consumed by people streaming video content. Across the globe, the highest share of downstream traffic volume is currently held by Netflix Inc.

BFSI Using Advanced Security Solutions to Protect Data and Financial Assets

Banks and financial institutions are gradually shifting their core applications over to the cloud network, to offer a personalized banking experience, mitigate the risks associated with conventional technologies, improve the operational control of platforms, reduce capital expenditure, and meet the growing need for real-time analysis of high-volume data. However, the deployment of the cloud infrastructure escalates the risk of cyberattacks, as the data is stored at remote locations.  Get the Sample Copy of this Report @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/bfsi-security-market/report-sample To combat the cyber threat, such institutions are increasingly adopting a range of advanced security solutions. The financial service sector has become a prime target for cybercriminals, as it centers around financial assets and generates massive unstructured data. Moreover, progressive steps such as the adoption of online banking and shift toward digital processes have increased the pro

RF Semiconductor Market a $5.0-Billion Investment Opportunity by 2030

The major factors leading to the rising demand for radiofrequency (RF) semiconductors are the increasing popularity of smartphones, enhancements in the wireless communication technologies, and escalating adoption of the internet of things (IoT). As a result, from $2.1 billion in 2019, the market of RF semiconductor will witness an 8.8% CAGR during 2020–2030 (forecast period), to reach $5.0 billion by 2030. Made of semiconductor materials, such components enable RF communication in an array of sectors. Get the Sample Copy of this Report @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/rf-semiconductor-market-report/report-sample The material segment of the market is classified into indium phosphate, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, silicon, and silicon germanium. Among these, during the historical period (2014–2019), the largest share was held by the gallium arsenide category because RF semiconductors made from this material consume less power, account for low power dissipation, ca

How Is Consumer Electronics Sector Helping Silicon on Insulator Market Grow?

Currently, the major players of the silicon on insulator market are taking strategic measures, such as product launches, facility expansions, partnerships, geographical expansions, client wins, and mergers and acquisitions, to gain a competitive edge in the market. For example, in January 2019, Soitec SA extended its collaboration with Samsung Foundry to increase the volume supply of FD-SOIs.  With the new agreement, these companies extended their partnership and secured a high-volume supply of FD-SOI wafers to cater to the surging demand for SOI wafers in consumer, automotive, and internet of things (IoT) applications. The wafer type segment of the silicon on insulator market is categorized into radio-frequency SOI (RF-SOI), power-SOI, imager-SOI, photonics-SOI, fully depleted SOI (FD-SOI), and partially depleted SOI (PD-SOI).  In 2018, the RF-SOI category generated the highest revenue, due to the escalating use of RF-SOI in advanced LTE smartphones and huge investments made in the
