Apple TV+'s high-performing
streaming originals programming such as “Ted Lasso" has helped it make strong moves against other streaming platforms when it comes to “demand share" according to Parrot
Analytics.
Apple TV+ is at a 8.3% demand share in the second quarter of this year in the U.S. -- just behind Amazon Prime Video (8.6%).
Both Apple
and Amazon Prime Video are well behind industry leader Netflix at 36.3%.
Parrot defines 'demand share' as user data gathered from daily "expressions" of demand in over 100 languages in more
than 200 countries. Those expressions come from over two billion people who "interact with content and talent" -- activities, interactions, and behaviors.
Data comes from search engines, wikis
and informational sites, fan and critic ratings sites, social video sites, blogs and micro-blogging sites, social media platforms, peer-to-peer apps and open streaming platforms.
Apple TV+ has been boosted by its full-year results in 2022, when it had 6.9% demand share -- in fifth place overall. The only
other streamer to show an increase over the period was Hulu -- now at 7.2%, (up from 7.0%).
Top other streamers declined including Netflix, at 36.3% (41.1% for full 2022
year); Prime Video at 8.6% (9.0%); and Disney at 7.3% (8.0%).
For Apple TV+, “Ted Lasso'' posted the streamer’s highest demand share -- with a “69.88
times score”-- the difference from the demand of an average title in a specific market. Other high-performing Apple TV+ originals include “Silo” (36.17x),
“Severance” (28.72x), “See” (26.45x); and “For All Mankind” (24.54x).
For the most recent June weekly period (June 12-18), “Ted
Lasso” came in fourth place in total viewing minutes (529 million) for streaming original programming, according to Nielsen.
Netflix dominated the top ten list of
originals -- getting eight shows on the list. Netflix’ “Black Mirror” was the top original, posting 1.4 billion minutes.
