The U.S. -- the world's largest AVOD market by ad revenues as of 2019 -- is on track to exceed $31 billion by 2026, accounting for 47% of the $66 billion global total.

CTV's share was up 17% versus Q4 2020, and at its highest level since 2019.

The average subscriber will pay for 2.14 SVOD services, according to a forecast by Digital TV Research. Subscription growth peaked last year, with the addition of 201 million subscriptions.

This year, video buyers say they will spend 56% of their total video budgets on digital video (desktop, mobile, CTV), significantly surpassing linear TV's share of 41%.
