Audio Streaming at Home Increases during the Coronavirus Pandemic

Posted on November 4, 2020 by Media Partners Worldwide

Audio Streaming at Home Increases during the Coronavirus Pandemic

Audio streaming among households in the US has been on the rise following the upsurge in coronavirus infections, and the containment measures put in place by the government to fight the pandemic. As people spend more time at home, they turn to streaming services for entertainment and information. Just like video, audio streaming has taken center stage in people’s lives as the pandemic rages.

Increased audio consumption

Research shows that people have increased their listening by 54 minutes per day during this pandemic period. This increase represents a 32% rise in streaming audio consumption compared to the same period last year. The sharp increase is good news to the brands that have increased their investment in digital audio since the pandemic struck.

The switch to more audio streaming devices

Listeners aren’t relying solely on their smartphones and computers to stream audio at home. Many of them are utilizing connected TV devices, including streaming media sticks or boxes, gaming consoles, and Smart TVs. Amazon Fire TV, for instance, accounts for over 67.7 million streaming audio hours across the US. Other Amazon products on the frontline include the Echo Smart Speakers.

Streaming services taking advantage of the spike in audio consumption

Some leading streaming services are driving the increase in home audio consumption during this pandemic. They include iHeartRadio, Pandora, and Spotify. Spotify holds the top spot in streaming hours, while iHeartRadio, which saw an 11% increase in listenership between January and May in 2020, comes second.
