Quantified Consumer

COVID-19: Impact on Communications and entertainment - May

Consumer technology industries, especially the entertainment/communications services, content, and devices markets, need thoughtful, strategic research that quantifies the impact of COVID-19 on the market for the next several quarters. As with previous public health incidents, the majority of economic impacts will come from changes and aversions in consumer behaviors. This research addresses short- and long-term questions related to consumer engagement with broadband, pay-TV, and OTT video services, including new subscriptions to and cancellations of leading services. It assesses which behavioral changes are likely short-term in nature and which changes will last.
