The current state of the video market is hardly cause for celebration, however, as streaming video continues to take hold. In fact, more consumers now subscribe to either free or paid streaming services than subscribe to traditional pay-TV services overall, Breznick noted, and that trend is building up a head of steam.
Breznick cited other market data indicating that US pay-TV providers lost 1.7 million video customers in 2016, up from a loss of 1.1 million in 2015, according to MoffettNathanson LLC . He said another 20% of existing cable customers are dissatisfied with their current service, according to Parks Associates . Moreover, for the first time, more US households use streaming video (68%) than subscribe to a pay-TV service (67%), according to the Consumer Technology Association.
