US in Perspective

A higher percentage of people in the US consume long-form content than in any other country in the world. US viewers appear to expect an endless supply of content in both linear TV and streaming video. Time spent with each of these media ranked the US No. 1 globally; combined, they amounted to a daily average of 4 hours and 46 minutes (4:46), which exceeded the No. 2 country (South Africa) by 34 minutes.

Media adoption rates of both digital and traditional formats, along with digital device ownership rates, placed the US among a group of digitally advanced countries.
