Digital Rights Management (DRM) in media and entertainment serves as a protective service for real-time streaming and digital media by employing copyrights and license keys. This service ensures the secure delivery of media content while upholding the rights and privacy of content owners. It restricts access to authorized users, preventing unauthorized duplication and distribution of media.
DRM is utilized by businesses of varying sizes, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. SMEs, characterized as independent businesses with fewer than 250 employees, deploy DRM to safeguard their digital assets and enhance organizational privacy. DRM finds applications in diverse sectors such as mobile content, video on demand (VOD), mobile gaming and apps, and ebooks. Industries such as banking, financial services, insurance (BFSI), healthcare, printing and publication, education, and television and film leverage DRM to protect their digital content.

The burgeoning demand for OTT content is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of digital rights management (DRM) within the media and entertainment market. Over-the-top (OTT) content delivery, catering to specific customer preferences, involves distributing digital entertainment content, such as movies, over the internet. DRM in the OTT realm serves content owners by enforcing access regulations, curbing duplication, and preventing content conversion into alternate media formats. The access policies set by content owners dictate how users can access and utilize the content. A study conducted by Finder.com Comparison UK Limited in August 2022 revealed that 9 out of 10 Britons have engaged with a streaming service in the past year. In the UK, 58% of households have at least one streaming service subscription, marking a 5% increase from 2020. Hence, the mounting demand for OTT content is a significant driver propelling the growth of DRM in the media and entertainment domain.
The escalating internet penetration across rural and urban areas is poised to propel the expansion of DRM in the media and entertainment market. Internet penetration quantifies the percentage of the population or households in a specific area with access to and usage of the internet. This surge in internet connectivity fuels the need for robust DRM solutions within the media and entertainment sector, aiming to safeguard intellectual property and regulate access to digital content. According to DataReportal in October 2022, there are approximately 5.07 billion internet users globally, accounting for 63.5% of the world's population. The connected population surged by over 170 million in the past year. In India, as reported by Livemint in July 2022, there are 692 million active internet users, including 351 million from rural areas and 341 million from urban regions. The projections estimate a rise to 900 million internet users in India by 2025. This upward trajectory in internet penetration is expected to drive the growth of DRM in the media and entertainment landscape.
Technological advancements emerge as a pivotal trend shaping DRM in the media and entertainment industry. Key players in the market are actively developing sophisticated technologies and software to solidify their market positions. For instance, in April 2023, Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced a free AWS Learning Plan and Digital Badge tailored for Media and Entertainment (M&E) focused on Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) and Broadcast Foundations. This educational plan, designed by AWS for M&E solution experts, aims to educate executives, industry professionals, and technologists on AWS services and best practices applicable to Broadcast and D2C workflows in the cloud. This technological innovation underscores the commitment of major companies to evolve their offerings and expertise in the realm of DRM for media and entertainment.
Prominent companies within the digital rights management (DRM) segment of the media and entertainment market are increasingly emphasizing partnerships and collaborations to augment their product offerings and global reach. These strategic alliances involve leveraging mutual strengths and resources to attain shared advantages and foster success.

The resultant integrated solution delivers comprehensive digital content protection for video streaming businesses. By combining forces, these companies offer content creators and distributors a unified solution for safeguarding digital content, ensuring enhanced security within the video streaming domain.
