Study: Roku is the Most Popular Brand of Streaming Players

Roku is the most popular brand of streaming media players, according to a study from the Tech Eco System Dashboard from Parks Associates.

“Historically, Amazon and Roku have dominated the streaming media player market, and our research shows their dominance continues,” said Sarah Lee, Research Analyst, Parks Associates. “Other competitors such as Apple and Google have held on to their respective shares but do not show much growth as of yet.”

“Today, smart TVs are much more affordable, as are streaming media players,” Lee said. “These devices offer consumers cost-effective solutions as well as an ecosystem-consistent experience.”
