Within the Video on Demand (VoD) landscape, short video platforms have emerged as a dynamic segment catering to consumers' preference for brief, engaging content that can be consumed quickly. Unlike traditional VoD services that offer full-length films, television shows, and other long-form content, short video platforms specialize in the creation and distribution of videos typically ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes in length. These platforms capitalize on the pervasive use of mobile devices, allowing users to both create and view content on-the-go with a heavy emphasis on social interaction and user-generated content. Features such as filters, music overlays, and interactive elements have become characteristic of these services. By providing tools that simplify content creation, these platforms have democratized video production, enabling users to not only be consumers of content but also creators. As a result, short video platforms have grown rapidly, with their economical, snackable content appealing to a diverse, often younger demographic and feeding into the wider ecosystem of social media. Some notable companies operating in the short video platform market include TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram through its 'Reels' feature, and Kuaishou with its Kwai app. There also exist regional players such as Moj and Chingari in India, as well as niche platforms like Dubsmash and Byte that cater to specific content genres or creator communities.
