Abstract :
The Over-the-Top (OTT) streaming industry is undergoing rapid transformation, with original content emerging as a key driver of subscriber growth, audience retention, and competitive differentiation. This paper explores the future trends shaping original content production on OTT platforms. Key developments include the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven analytics for content personalization, the rise of regional and niche storytelling to cater to diverse global audiences, and the integration of immersive technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) for enhanced user engagement. Additionally, there is a growing demand for short-form and mobile-optimized content, reflecting changing consumer viewing habits. The industry is also witnessing a shift toward sustainable production practices, AI-generated content, and deepfake technology, raising ethical and regulatory considerations. As subscription fatigue becomes a challenge, platforms are exploring ad-supported revenue models and hybrid monetization strategies. Furthermore, increasing emphasis on diversity and inclusion in original programming is reshaping content strategies to reflect a broader range of voices and experiences. The future of OTT original content will be defined by technological advancements, evolving audience expectations, and strategic innovation, positioning streaming platforms for sustained growth and industry leadership.
