Roku Reigns in Streaming Market

August 20, 2015

Roku hasn't yet succeeded in its goal to become the new operating system for the connected TV, but it is ruling the roost when it comes to media streaming hardware.

A new Parks Associates study has found that US consumers buy more Roku Inc. devices than any other brand of retail set-top or streaming stick. Roku captured 34% of the market in 2014, outperforming second-place Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), which secured 23% with its Chromecast device. Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN)'s Fire TV products came in third place, outpacing Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL)'s Apple TV, which fell to fourth.

Perhaps more importantly, Roku devices are used more often than any other rival streamer. Parks notes that 37% of households with a streaming device reported using a Roku. That number dropped to 19% for Google's Chromecast, 17% for the Apple TV and 14% for Amazon Fire TV products.
