Ooyala Research Reveals New Patterns in TV and Video Consumption as Mobile and Tablet Viewing Explodes
The Global Video Index for Q2, 2013 Shows the Share of Online Viewing Occurring on Mobile Phones Increasing 41% Since January, With Live and Long-Form Content Dominant Even on Small Screens
(firmenpresse) - MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA and AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS -- (Marketwired) -- 09/12/13 -- , the leading innovator in video streaming, analytics and monetization, today released the , which uncovers distinct patterns in the way people the world over migrate from one device to another throughout each day and week for video entertainment, sports and news.
Ooyala's data indicates that the continued growth in mobile and tablet viewing is driven in large part by increased availability of premium, long-form content, made possible by the adoption of more robust streaming and monetization tools among broadcasters and media companies. Ooyala has played a central role in fueling this adoption around the world, and enabling a new breed of personalized, interactive and lucrative video experiences on all connected devices.
The company will be demonstrating its range of cloud-based software and services this month at two major events for broadcasters, media companies and brands: , September 13 -17, and , in Cologne, Germany, September 18 and 19.
The new Global Video Index shows mobile phones and tablets remaining on pace to double their share of web-delivered video consumption in 2013, growing 28% and 18% respectively during Q2. Together, mobile and tablet devices accounted for 13% of all online viewing as of June 30, 2013, compared to just 8% at the end of Q4, 2012.
The full report reveals how a typical viewer consumes media throughout the day in an increasingly mobile era. For example, mobile and tablet viewing spikes early in the morning and throughout typical commuting hours, while PC video plays pick up in the later morning, and peak at midday. During the evening commute, viewers return to their phones and tablets, and PC video views decline sharply. And tablets become the "first screen" on the weekends, as people watch more tablet TV throughout the day. PC video views dip significantly on Saturdays and Sundays, compared to weekday streaming.
Also among the findings for Q2, 2013:
On mobile phones, people spent more than half their viewing time with videos longer than 10 minutes; and 20% of their viewing time with videos more than an hour long
Live video drives engagement: mobile audiences watch live video nearly twice as long as on-demand video; and the live-to-on-demand ratio is 15 to 1 for PC viewers, measured in hours
The number of mobile video plays surges between 8 and 10 pm, a time when many mobile devices are connected to Wi-Fi; and mobile video plays consistently peak on Friday and Saturday nights
Tablet viewing spikes early in the morning and in the evening each day, with views regularly peaking on Friday night
During the week, PC viewing rises steadily during office hours
There is a distinct converse relationship between PC and mobile viewing; demonstrating how viewers shift from one device to another between their time at home, during their commute, and at work
PCs are the only platform on which the majority of video plays are for content shorter than six minutes; with nearly two-thirds of plays being less than 10 minutes. However, measured in hours, videos longer than 10 minutes still made up the majority of time spent viewing video
"With the deep level of insight Ooyala provides, the concept of personalization becomes much more meaningful for broadcasters and for each individual in their audience," said Jay Fulcher, chief executive officer of Ooyala. "Data is power. These insights are incredibly powerful for programmers and advertisers, who can now deliver content and ads optimized for specific viewers, times, devices and locations. As mobile and tablet viewing explodes, we're taking personalization, and the targeting that comes with it, to a completely new level."
Additionally, the report analyzes a cross-section of 10 major European countries. Of note among these findings is a progressive trend in long-form video viewing. In the Nordics for example, half of all on-demand video streamed during the quarter was over 30 minutes long, compared with 18% in the U.S. And nearly 40% of all on-demand video is viewed to completion, representing a big opportunity to improve monetization through mid-roll ad insertion, and by offering more transactional video on demand (TVOD) and subscription video on demand (SVOD) content.
