Distinction
TVer is not a subscription streaming service in the style of global SVOD platforms; it is primarily a free Japanese broadcaster-backed AVOD and catch-up TV platform. It is also not just an adtech vendor, because its core asset is owned and aggregated video content inventory.

TVer: Market Position
TVer Inc. operates a Japanese ad-supported video-on-demand and catch-up television platform that aggregates programming from major domestic broadcasters into a single consumer service. The platform distributes free on-demand and live simulcast television content across web, mobile and connected TV, making money primarily from video advertising sold against that audience and inventory.
In addition to its consumer streaming product, TVer offers an advertising product that gives brands and agencies access to premium broadcaster-backed video inventory across on-demand and live content. Its customers therefore span both viewers, who consume the free service, and advertisers and agencies, who pay for in-stream video campaigns, including through self-serve ad-buying capabilities.
