Online video viewing over platform competition is at play here.
Both Netflix and Facebook are still chasing YouTube in the international online video service popularity contest. But, Netflix is continuing to set itself apart as the runner-up.
Ampere Analysis issued its latest barometer – in which it surveyed 41,000 respondents in more than 20 markets during the first quarter of 2019 – and found that since the third quarter of 2016, U.S. and European viewers of videos on Facebook have declined from 28% to 23% of internet respondents.
During the same time span, YouTube also declined in views (from 70% to 66% of respondents) while Netflix rose by 15 percentage points from 22% to 37% of respondents. Amazon viewers have increased nine points.
