There has been a huge need for stock footage from the OTT sector because of the rise in binge-watching demand from viewers for web series, movies, and documentaries as well as filming limitations in the filmmaking industry. However, affordability is also one of the key factors. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video were the only two leading platforms, but in recent times, several other names, like Disney+ Hotstar, and Hulu TV, have popped up. Hence, filmmakers have many options to choose from to sell their content. The need to supply content quickly increases when there is a great demand for it. Consequently, this causes stock footage demand to soar. 

Drone journalism is quickly gaining popularity because it can be used to capture footage from previously inaccessible locations without endangering the safety of the journalist or pilot in situations like political protests, war, national celebrations, conflict, extreme sports, and natural disasters. To meet this demand, Getty Images, Storyblocks, Shutterstock, and Pond5 have all increased the availability of their aerial photography. Hence, boosting the market for stock photos and videos.
