Spain has almost 300 Video on Demand platforms

International. Spain has become the battlefield (and testing ground for the entire continent, especially due to the high number of connected homes) of the large Video On Demand (VOD) platforms, and not only that, it is where the most complete offer in all of Europe is offered! 

And it is not something that foreign media say (that they say), but it is confirmed by studying the offer of Video On Demand Platforms (including online video clubs, on-demand services, digital film libraries and the like) available for the Spanish market. 

Because according to the database of Video On Demand Platforms in Spain, there are already 287 VOD platforms accessible from Spain, between national and foreign platforms based in the country (a total of 94), or those that are available in it, and everything indicates that it is feasible to reach 300 digital platforms before the end of 2016, since the ones that will be offered soon by Amazon, HBO, Sky or Vivendi are expected, in addition to several of Spanish development.

While in neighboring France the first VOD Festival is already going to be celebrated, in our country digital platforms are born and disappear without being properly known by the general public, and even by the institutions themselves or the Audiovisual Industry. 

- Publicidad -

And it is still largely unknown the very wide offer of Video On Demand of our country, in which according to the database of Video On Demand Platforms in Spain there are many free titles (there are 197 platforms that offer them), apart from those of payment, in mode of rent, purchase or subscription, options to access from computers, but also from smartphones and tablets (38% of the platforms have apps for Android, 37% for iOS or 8% for Windows Phone), or Smart TVs, to cinema content (143 platforms offer them), series (97 have them), theater, sports, music, video games or health. 

And let's not forget that there are already national platforms expanding with a global vocation, joining the more than a hundred foreigners who already offer their content and services internationally.
