New consumer research from Leichtman Research Group finds that 87% of U.S. TV households have at least one internet-connected TV device, which includes Smart TVs, streaming devices (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast or Apple TV), video game systems, and/or Blu-ray Disc players. This compares to 80% with at least one connected-TV device in 2020, 69% in 2017, and 38% in 2012.
These findings are based on a survey of 1,902 TV households in the United States.
Overall, 46% of adults in U.S. TV households watch video daily on a connected TV — compared to 40% in 2020, 25% in 2017, and 4% in 2012. Younger individuals are most likely to use connected-TV devices. Among ages 18-34, 62% watch video on a TV via a connected device daily — compared to 54% of ages 35-54, and 24% of ages 55+.
