Ethan Cramer-Flood:我预测数字付费电视的增长将会停滞,这将导致线性电视的衰落进一步加剧。到2025年,大多数美国家庭将不再拥有任何形式的付费电视。这并非因为人们不看电视了,而是因为他们转向了其他观看方式。数字付费电视平台,例如YouTube TV和Hulu,虽然在早期发展迅速,但由于价格昂贵且增长乏力,最终无法拯救传统线性电视行业。我们可以看到,一些平台已经开始合并或面临困境,这预示着未来线性电视将走向小众化。 价格上涨也是一个重要因素。例如,YouTube TV的价格在短短几年内就翻了一番多,远高于通货膨胀率。这使得数字付费电视对许多消费者来说变得难以承受。 总的来说,付费电视行业的未来将是碎片化的,价格昂贵且选择有限,消费者将是受影响最大的一方。 Oscar Orozco:我认为直播电商在美国将越来越受欢迎。目前已经有超过4000万美国消费者通过直播平台购买商品,预计到2026年将超过5400万。虽然增长速度可能会放缓,但直播电商仍然具有巨大的增长潜力。 直播电商的成功,很大程度上取决于能否创造出引人入胜的购物体验,而不是简单的广告。中国直播电商的成功经验表明,娱乐性是关键。如果美国直播电商能够学习中国的经验,并结合美国消费者的特点,那么它将有望获得持续的增长。 此外,一些社交媒体平台,例如Pinterest,也在积极推动直播电商的发展。零售商与第三方合作伙伴的合作,也将为直播电商提供新的增长动力。 虽然美国直播电商的增长模式可能与中国有所不同,但其潜力依然巨大,尤其是在年轻一代消费者中。 Marcus Johnson:作为主持人,我主要负责引导讨论,并提出一些关键问题,例如直播电商的成功与否取决于消费者是否愿意花大量时间观看直播广告,以及人们减少观看传统电视的时间都去哪里了。我总结了Ethan和Oscar的观点,并对他们的预测进行了补充和评论。
