We at The ADS Group replicate about 80,000 DVDs per day – for markets that vary from the healthcare industry to the supplemental information included with high price point products. Streaming is a great option for a retail giant like Netflix, and will certainly change trends in the media industry, but there remain myriad applications for a tangible product. As we continue to grow our suite of services, streaming and content on demand is already becoming a larger piece of the puzzle, but physical discs are – and will likely remain – our brick and mortar for the next few years.
