Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) controlled 69% of the US streaming device market in the first quarter of 2019, according to Parks Associates. Between the first quarters of 2017 and 2019, Roku's share rose from 37% to 39%, while Amazon's share climbed from 24% to 30%.
Roku's resilience allayed fears that Amazon's new Fire TV set-top boxes and Fire TVs would throttle its growth. However, Amazon recently introduced a wide range of new Fire TV devices -- including a new Fire TV cube, a Fire TV Edition soundbar from Anker, and 15 new Fire TV Edition products -- to ramp up the pressure.
