As the underlying technologies that make it possible have developed, so has activity in the sector, with companies such as Meerkat and Periscope entering the market as well. The live streaming market is expected to grow dramatically and holds potential across a wide range of applications, from sports and events to politics, news, marketing, religion and much more.
