Sony LIV launches its movie subscription service

Sony LIV, Multi Screen Media’s (MSM) premium digital video entertainment brand, forays into the movies subscription service with blockbuster movie content. With this initiative, Sony LIV continues to expand its content offerings from catch-up content to sports, to music to original exclusive series and now, to the movies subscription service.

India, besides its large market size, is among the countries with the fastest smartphone growth in Asia. Mobile Video traffic in India is poised to grow exponentially in the next 3 years and Sony LIV, the first Video on demand service by a broadcaster in India, is seeking to bolster its foothold in the online video space. Globally, SVOD is poised to become the largest revenue source in 2020, overtaking OTT advertising. But in India the market is at a nascent stage with a huge growth potential in future.
