Cutting household expenses is now the No. 1 reason consumers are canceling streaming subscriptions, said Eric Sorensen, senior analyst and director of streaming products at Parks Associates. It used to be the third most common reason, he says.
“Consumers are definitely looking at ways to save on monthly household bills,” said Sorensen, whose firm does market research and consulting. “Entertainment is one of the first things that people cut. You can’t cut the electric bill.”
Nearly 9 in 10 broadband households – 89% – subscribe to at least one streaming service, over half subscribe to more than four and nearly one-third – 29% – subscribe to more than eight, according to Parks Associates.
