Streaming Platforms Gain Significant Share of TV Advertising Market

Streaming platforms are rapidly increasing their share of television advertising, with ad spending projected to near $20 billion by 2029, approaching traditional linear TV levels. Ad-supported streaming plans now account for nearly half of premium subscription sign-ups in the U.S., driven largely by adult viewers willing to watch ads to save money. This trend, highlighted at upcoming upfront ad-selling events, coincides with price increases by major services and significant investments in sports programming rights to attract live audiences.
