Internet Video Market has Very Broad Appeal

Change used to move relatively slowly in the entertainment business. That was, until the whole notion of a mass-market for television became null and void.

First it was music production and distribution and now it's video. In this rapidly evolving market, consumers are being afforded more choice and control when it comes to content.

Whether it's PVRs, User Generated Content, or TV shows online, the market has fundamentally started the process of unbundling television or video entertainment, and this redistribution of control will likely come to dominate the overall consumer landscape for years to come, according to an In-Stat market study.

In addition, as evidenced by an In-Stat survey of U.S. consumers, when it comes to online video, despite a stratification by age, these trends appear more endemic than unique to the under 25 market segment.

Respondents who watch online video were equally upbeat on the future of digital media, in many cases expecting these emerging forms of entertainment to become more mainstream over time.

"A testament to the significance these trends pose to all members within the value chain," says Michael Inouye, In-Stat analyst. "And just like music, these shifts appear far more entrenched than a simple fad -- additional reason to strategically review this evolving market and the new levers they bring."

In-Stat's market study found the following:

- Respondents to an In-Stat survey felt online video will become more mainstream over time.

- Social networking aspects are starting to play an important part on how the newer generation wants to watch and interact with TV.

- Primary detractors for online video continue to be download speed, user interface, cost, and quality of video (both visual and content).

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases. AI Semiconductor Market Development Semiconductors designed to execute Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads will represent a $53.4 billion revenue opportunity for the global semiconductor industry in 2023, an increase of 20.9 percent from 2022, according to the latest worldwide market study by Gartner. "The developments in generative AI and the increasing use of a wide range AI-based applications in data c

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve
