The short answer is that the Betamax format, as a mainstream consumer product, is largely obsolete. However, there are some niche areas where Betamax equipment or services might still exist.
About its current status, Betamax players and tapes are no longer manufactured or sold in the mainstream consumer market. While Betamax was primarily a consumer format, some professional video equipment manufacturers may have used Betamax-based technology for specialized applications. Some individuals or organizations may still have Betamax tapes containing valuable or irreplaceable content.
Also, there may be a few specialized businesses or individuals who still offer repair and maintenance services for Betamax equipment, primarily for archival purposes.
