CTV usage expansion
In Europe, Germany tops streaming content consumption through CTV devices with 43 million monthly users and outpaces its neighbours with 25% year-on-year growth. The UK trails closely with 42 million users but a more moderate growth rate of 6%. Elsewhere on the continent, Spain and France grew by 16% and 18%, respectively.
At 89 million users, Brazil stands out as the largest CTV market outside the U.S. The South American nation boasts 89 million users. India follows: viewers in the South-Asian country leapt up 48% year-on-year to 70 million – triple the average global growth.
Time spent on CTV: YouTube
Homing in on YouTube's CTV usage outside the U.S., there is a strong upward trend in time spent across the board. Brazil tops the charts for total time spent at over 140 billion minutes, with consumers averaging 4.5 hours a day, higher than any other country. India (53%) and Malaysia (31%) lead the pack for growth, which averaged 22% globally.
