Analysis: Fragmentation built streaming’s growth and now tests its limits

Parks Associates counted more than 300 streaming services available in the United States, with the average internet household subscribing to 5.3 of them.

For most of television’s history, the limiting factor was supply — channels, time slots, shelf space at the video store. The limiting factor now is attention, and the search bar is where it leaks out.

Parks Associates has a term for the result: fragmentation fatigue.

Pay TV, long treated as the past, is being repositioned as part of the cure. Parks Associates found that 33% of pay TV subscribers stayed because the service offered more content in one place. Bundles follow the same logic.

The trade once thought unthinkable, more ads for less money, has become a routine way to manage a crowded bill.

“Aggregation is now a strategic advantage,” Elizabeth Parks, president and CMO of Parks Associates, said.
