Presenting the 2024 Streaming Media 100
Here we reveal the 2024 Streaming Media 100, our list of the top 100 companies in the streaming universe outside of Europe. This list complements the Streaming Media Europe 51, which recognizes Europe’s key streaming innovators, exemplars, and disruptors.
The Streaming Media 100 foregrounds many of the industry’s most innovative and influential technology suppliers, service providers, platforms, and media and content companies, as acclaimed by our editorial team. Some are familiar and formidable industry mainstays, while others are comparatively small and relatively recent arrivals. All set themselves apart from the crowd with their innovative approach and their contribution to the expansion and maturation of the streaming media universe.
In past years, we’ve focused exclusively on technology vendors, rather than content companies. This list has traditionally been entirely about recognizing the companies that enable video services to deliver great content to consumers reliably and at the highest possible quality on every device and hopefully to make money from it.
Back in 2018, we streamlined the list to a trim 50 honorees drawn entirely from the ranks of companies supplying products and services on the technological side of the aisle. Last year, we returned the list to century- size to embrace the content companies that increasingly dominate the conversation. This year, we’ve expanded into other increasingly important areas, reflecting our growing focus on monetization and essential players in the advertising ecosystem.
Once again, this year, we largely excluded the video production segment of the market. Also, the Streaming Media 100 focuses exclusively on companies with headquarters in North America. In March 2023, we published a similar list, the Streaming Media Europe 51, focusing on companies with headquarters in Europe. Of course, some companies have headquarters in both the U.S. and abroad; in those cases, we ask the company (or they forthrightly tell us) which list they want to be considered for.
So how do we arrive at the list? We invite members of the magazine’s editorial inner circle to look at a master list of all of the vendors in the online video marketplace and assess their importance in the industry. We pool and average out the results, and the top 100 make the list.
Without further ado, here’s the 2024 Streaming Media 100.
Congratulations to all.
