OTT Adoption Up 12% Among US Households

Findings from Parks Associates’ OTT Video Market Tracker service indicate that Netflix, WWE Network, and Hulu have the highest Net Promoter Scores among major OTT video services in the US. The international research firm notes that adoption of OTT video subscriptions has increased by 12 per cent since Q3 2014, with the number of available services and consumer awareness both increasing, despite password sharing growing by approximately 8 per cent over that same time.

“We have seen a steady climb thus far in 2016,” said Brett Sappington, Senior Director of Research, Parks Associates. “With Hulu’s shift to a subscription-only approach, OTT video subscription penetration in the US market will continue to rise through the end of this year.”
