This week, Parks Associates is attending StreamTV Show and presenting new research from its Video Service Dashboard, showing shifts in demand for streaming video services, including a significant drop in spending. The firm’s latest research reports a dramatic 30% drop in spending for streaming SVOD services, with the average US internet household spending about $63 per month on OTT SVOD services, down from $90 in 2021. 

In addition, households are now stacking fewer streaming services—in Q1 2024, 20% of US internet households report paying for nine or more services, versus 29% in Q3 2023. The overall average number of streaming video service subscriptions per household has dropped below five, and 32% of households that cancelled a service in the past 12 months cite a need to cut household expenses as the reason.

All categories of household services face challenges, as consumers reevaluate their spending and subscriptions. A focus on value and education, the user interface, and the customer experience is what will drive the next generation of services in the home.”
