Parks: Economics challenge household finances – and the entertainment industry

Streaming, meanwhile, is the leading choice for video entertainment today; today, 88% of US internet households subscribe to at least one OTT service, according to Parks Associates' most recent Video Services Dashboard, a consumer research study of 8,004 heads of US internet households conducted between March 21, 2024 and April 4, 2024. 

Parks Associates research shows that US households with 5 or more OTT subscriptions dropped from 52% to 46% and that average monthly spending on OTT SVOD services decreased from $73 in Q3 2023 to $63 in Q1 2024.

According to Parks Associates research, companies that own or aggregate television and video assets distribute their content across 18 platforms on average. 

 Recent custom research from Parks Associates and SymphonyAI media division notes that 47% of executives in the streaming industry lack the data needed to make good business decisions. Even when that data is available, it is often difficult or impossible to collate and compare—71% of industry executives say it is difficult to see all the streaming-related data in one place.
