Parks: Smart TV Adoption Rose 56% During the Pandemic

New results from Parks Associates‘ most recent quarterly survey show more consumers are opting for Smart TVs than ever before. According to the survey among 10,000 US broadband households, Smart TVs and Smart Speakers/displays were the two highest growing devices, rising 56% and 53% respectively.

Parks says the pandemic grew consumers’ perceived value of connected entertainment devices, generating growth in future purchase intentions for all product categories related to connected home entertainment.

“Big announcements in the smart TV space by Amazon and Comcast are evidence of where the home entertainment market is headed,” said Paul Erickson, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates. “TVs are now consumers’ most common video centerpiece in the home, and technology powerhouses are vying to own this point of entertainment aggregation – and all the data that goes with it – by controlling the platform itself. The competition now is not just about providing access to entertainment, it’s also about adding increasing value to the platform through features such as voice assistants, smart home integration, and better user experiences. Smart TVs are now seen as a key anchor device for ecosystem penetration into today’s broadband households.”
