Music Streaming Proving Popular For Phone Users

According to research from Parks Associates, 68% of smartphone owners listen to streaming music daily. That’s comparable to the 71% of consumers who watch short video clips on their phones daily. But those who listen to music do so for nearly twice as long per day (45 minutes of music vs. 24 minutes for video).

“We’re seeing a boom in streaming music right now,” Harry Wang, director of health and mobile product research at Parks, tells Marketing Daily. “There’s a huge amount of music choices, and by nature, the services are multi-platform. There are many different ways to enjoy music.”
