SWOT Analysis
Strength: AVC offers high compression efficiency for storage and transmission of video. It supports a wide range of applications from low bit-rate communication to high definition television broadcasting.
Weakness: AVC is dependent on patented technologies like h.264 that require licensing from MPEG LA making it difficult for new entrants. Hardware decoding acceleration is required for real-time playback on mobile devices.
Opportunity: Growth of OTT platforms and video streaming services is driving the need for high quality video compression standards like AVC. Increase in 4K and 8K video consumption will further boost the market.
Threats: Emergence of new video compression standards like HEVC and AV1 that offer better efficiency compared to AVC pose a threat. Shift towards software based video processing reduces the need for dedicated hardware accelerators.
