Welcome to Plume IQ - our reveal of data-driven intelligence and consumer insights from 3 billion connected devices and 60 million locations, managed by Plume’s cloud platform. The data below is from a sample of our locations gathered last year.
Are video streaming trends changing?
Video streaming proved popular during the pandemic. As restrictions have begun to ease, we analysed data from Plume-powered households and revealed two key trends:
- Smart TVs have increased in popularity —When comparing the number of active devices, smart TVs are gaining in popularity over streaming set-top boxes (STBs) such as Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV. This is most prevalent in Europe where smart TVs now outnumber streaming STBs by 51%.
- Higher quality video consumption is up in the U.S. —While the usage of streaming STBs decreased and smart TVs increased, the actual amount of data consumed per hour increased for both device categories—24% and 10% respectively—indicating a transition to 4K content consumption.
Are these trends being fuelled by consumers’ access to cheaper and more capable smart TVs ?
