Reports: video consumers

Despite the current period of economic and political crises, Brazil has become one of the main digital video consumption markets globally on account of smartphone and YouTube proliferation. Nevertheless, traditional media such as free-to-air and pay-TV still have a major presence among Brazil’s cultural habits.

Ranked as the 15th richest country globally by GDP per capita and with the world’s second highest smartphone penetration rate, Australia is a developed market poised at the forefront of the mobile transition. This, combined with its English speaking consumer base, means it is frequently at the vanguard of early video service roll outs by tech companies, such as YouTube Red’s May 2016 launch and Netflix’s launch in March 2015.
