According to eMarketer’s recent Internet Video Audience report, based on a study conducted by InsightExpress, nearly half of 500 adult respondents watch news clips and music videos, while a third watch movie trailers and a quarter watch TV shows. Only 20 percent stream user-generated content.
The vast majority (87.9 percent) view videos at home, with much smaller numbers viewing at work or school.
The type of content viewed is dependent on age. Viewers 35 or older are 24 percent more likely to watch news clips, while 18-34 year olds are 38 percent more likely to watch streamed music videos.
The study also emphasized the growing audience for broadband video. Roughly half the U.S. population (157 million people) will view online video monthly by 2010, up from 107.7 million in 2006. “A huge audience will be available, and it will be up to advertisers and content providers to seize the opportunity by creating ever more effective ways to get in touch,” said eMarketer analyst David Hallerman, author of the report.
