Methodology for our graphic
Revenue data came from our March 2024 US CTV ad spending forecast. Our forecast includes digitally sold ad inventory that appears on TV screens. It excludes linear TV inventory. Time spent data came from the April edition of Nielsen’s The Gauge. It excludes “linear streaming” such as YouTube TV.
Our Amazon CTV forecast includes ads sold for Prime Video, Freevee, Fire TV, and Twitch that are viewed on TV sets. Because we do not break out Prime Video individually, Amazon is not included in the graphic above. Likewise, Roku is not in the graphic because we do not break out The Roku Channel in our forecast. The graphic also includes gross ad revenues for YouTube, rather than net ad revenues. Because YouTube shares a substantial portion of its ad revenues with creators, the gross forecast better reflects the scope of its ad business.
