Streaming Platform Preferences Across Age Ranges

Streaming Platform Preferences Across Age Ranges

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we witnessed a direct correlation between users’ age and the average number of streaming platforms they use. In the course of three months, younger demographics aged 25-34, led the way viewing contents in 7 different platforms on average. However, as users mature, their platform usage gradually declines.

This trend remains consistent at a regional level, with younger generations across all regions using more platforms compared to older generations. Notably, in UCAN, users tend to consume a higher number of streaming services on average compared to other regions. In LATAM and APAC online contents are mostly watched on Smartphones, while in UCAN and EMEA Smart TVs take the lead as the most used devices.

So, why the stark contrast between generations? One contributing factor that stands out is the prevalent practice of account sharing. Across regions, younger users are more inclined to share accounts, granting access to a diverse array of platforms and content, all while mitigating the financial strain associated with subscribing to numerous streaming platforms simultaneously.

From Legacy to Leading Edge: How AWS Helped Us Put AI at the Heart of Xytech

The title of our panel was deliberately chosen: Adding AI Layers to Modernize Legacy Product Offerings. There’s a misconception in the market that AI is only for greenfield startups building from scratch. That’s simply not true. In many ways, companies with deep domain expertise and established customer relationships are better positioned to deliver meaningful AI solutions—because they understand the problem space intimately. Xytech has decades of domain knowledge in media operations baked into its architecture. The AWS engagement didn’t just help us bolt AI onto an old product—it helped us unlock the latent value in our platform in ways that solved larger challenges we’d been wrestling with for years. That’s the real magic: AI as an accelerant for domain expertise, not a replacement for it.
