The report, noted that non-linear video accounts for 49% of the video consumed on the TV. And in fact, it already accounts for 60% of TV video viewed by consumers 18-24.

"Growing consumer demand, alongside new over-the-top (OTT) service announcements from HBO and CBS, is driving all players in the video ecosystem to add streaming capabilities to their devices," said Barbara Kraus, director of research at Parks Associates.
