Report: 20% of world actively watching online video

June 08, 2015

Approximately 1.6 billion people worldwide actively watch online video on a variety of connected devices, according to a new report conducted by Parks Associates and co-sponsored by Vindicia and Ooyala.

Meanwhile, an estimated 900 million access TV programming and movies online. That number will swell to over 1.3 billion video viewers by 2019, states the report.

The report also looks into what consumers want from an OTT service. The first priority is content. The report found that more than 70 percent of consumers subscribe to services like Netflix and Hulu Plus due to specific titles available through the service, and over one-third of consumers do so in order to access original content. The size of the video library and the amount of recent content are also important factors.

From the article "Report: 20% of world actively watching online video" by Thomas Campbell.
