Industry Trends and Drivers:
- The Proliferation of High-Value, Multi-Format 4K/8K Content:
The large amount of money the content industry spent on Premium High-Value Content (PHVC), such as edge UHD formats 4K and 8K, often with high dynamic range (HDR), is a key driver for advanced DRM technology adoption in the consumer electronics sector. Studios and content distributors such as Netflix and Disney+, as well as major film studios, require studio-approved DRM technology. Stricter studio requirements for their licensable high-security DRM systems (usually Google Widevine, Apple FairPlay, or Microsoft PlayReady) to be used with the PHVC streams, and the high volume of streaming live sports and exclusive video content to DVD/Blu-rays has led to an increase in the time that such content can be compromised. Thus, the market for DRM is not for systems to protect multiple copies, but is rather for systems capable of protecting the integrity of the complex content protection systems (e.g. watermarking, encryption at hardware level, etc.), which are required to protect the value of ultra high resolution files across multiple devices.
- The Rise of Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) and Hybrid Monetization:
Along with SVOD (which has become the dominant model worldwide) and hybrid systems such as AVOD (ad-supported video on demand), this forced a change in the DRM model, as it needed to work not just at the point of initial purchase, but in real-time as an access control system, granting or denying access as the subscription status, geographical location and permitted devices of the user change over time. This has caused demand for cloud-based licensing servers that can be scaled to handle billions of authentication requests, geo-fencing, and concurrent stream limitations. The convergence of advertisement insertion into streaming platforms has created additional demand for further development of DRM protocols that help guarantee compliance with advertising requirements while being strong to ad blocking software in order to protect the revenue of subscribers and advertisers. Managing all of these different access and monetization rules across multiple regions is one of the main motivating factors behind adaptive DRM platforms.
- The Regulatory Requirement for Data Privacy and Usage Control:
Another potential driver of this growth is the need to implement data privacy and content usage requirements. International data protection laws such as GDPR and CCPA are propelling the demand for DRM in media content delivery. In addition to managing controls over who can access the content, DRM can extend controls over how and when the data can be used, by ensuring that any content available for consumption in a geographic region complies with locally applicable content licensing agreements and secure user tracking of the consumption of such content. Other enterprise, educational, and e-publishing markets use DRM as more than a means of controlling copy protection. They use DRM to enforce firm usage rights, such as restricting printing or limiting the period of access to leased software or digital textbooks. The expansion of anti-piracy measures to cover complex governance of digital assets is helping the DRM market remain viable in non-entertainment sectors.
