Apple, Inc.'s Expected Apple TV Refresh Can't Come Soon Enough

August 20, 2015

Market researcher Parks Associates has put out a new report on how the streaming media device market fared last year. Importantly, Apple ceded its No. 3 spot to Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), as the e-tailer jumped in last year with Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. At this point, Apple, Amazon, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Roku are completely dominating the streaming media device market, gobbling up a combined 86% of all units in 2014. Roku led the pack with 34% unit market share, followed by Google with 23% share.

Parks Associates estimates that one in five U.S. households now own at least one streaming media device. That level of penetration suggests that this market still has room to grow, even domestically, especially as cord-cutting continues and consumers look for alternative ways to get their entertainment.
