Social users in the US will spend more than half their daily social time watching videos in 2023—up from one-third pre-pandemic. But social video’s growth is slowing, suggesting there’s a limit to the amount people want to consume daily.
- Video’s share of daily social user time will rise more slowly than previously. Between 2019 and 2022, that share rose by more than 20 points, reaching 53.3%, per Insider Intelligence forecasts. But users will add successively fewer social video minutes between 2023 and 2025: 4.5 in 2023, 3.0 in 2024, and just 1.7 in 2025, to reach 65.3 minutes per day.
