The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, and one trend is unmistakable—adults are consuming more video media than ever before. The surge in video viewership is not just a fleeting phenomenon; it represents a foundational shift in how people access information, entertainment, and brand messaging.
For businesses in New York City and beyond, this shift signals an urgent need to embrace video production and marketing as core strategies for growth.
The Numbers: Video Media Consumption Is Soaring
Recent studies and industry reports paint a clear picture:
- According to a 2024 report by eMarketer, adults in the U.S. now spend an average of over 6 hours per day watching video content across platforms, including streaming services, social media and traditional TV.
- Statista found that U.S. adults watched an average of 2 hours and 33 minutes of digital video per day in 2023, a figure that has continued to rise each year.
- A Pew Research Center study in 2025 highlighted that 84% of U.S. adults use YouTube, making it the most popular online platform—outpacing even Facebook and Instagram.
- In its 2024 forecast, eMarketer predicted that more than 87% of internet users in the U.S. will watch digital video at least once per month.
These numbers confirm that video is not just pervasive—it’s dominant. The audiences you want to reach are already spending significant time with video content, whether it’s on smartphones, computers or connected TVs.
Why This Matters for Your Business
With adult video consumption at record highs, businesses face a critical choice: adapt to the video-first world or risk being left behind. Video allows brands to tell compelling stories, demonstrate products and build authentic connections far more effectively than text or static images.
Key reasons to invest in professional video production and marketing:
- Higher Engagement: Video posts on social media generate 1200% more shares than text and image content combined.
- Improved Conversion Rates: Landing pages with video can increase conversions by up to 80%.
- Better SEO: Google prioritizes video content, making it easier for customers to find your business online.
- Stronger Brand Recall: Viewers retain 95% of a message when watching it in a video.
