Streaming Video Players

A survey of consumers planning to buy streaming video players finds no clear leader among Alphabet (owned by Google), Amazon.com, Apple and Roku.

Management consulting firm CG42 surveyed more than 21,000 U.S. consumers and found that 18% might purchase a streaming device this holiday season. And almost half of those (47%) plan to use it as a replacement for their pay-TV subscription.

The online survey revealed that 5% of respondents plan to get a streaming device during the holiday shopping season and an additional 13% are considering buying one.
