Two-thirds of US broadband homes use streaming audio

Two-thirds of US broadband homes use a streaming audio service, according to new research from Parks Associates. The study found that 40 percent of broadband households use a free service to stream audio and 26 percent subscribe to a pay service. Amazon Prime Music is the top subscription service, used by 10 percent of broadband homes, followed by Pandora One at 6 percent and Spotify Premium at 4 percent.

Music service providers have built a model around converting free service users into paying customers, but the strategy has not paid off so far, according to research analyst Glenn Hower. Parks Associates forecasts that speakers, multi-room audio systems, and soundbars, which are offsetting declining sales in home theatre and traditional audio components, will generate USD 26 billion in global sales in 2020.
