The way people consume their media is constantly changing. We’ve been tracking these habits through the annual Stuff media channel study and the results are pretty interesting. We’ve used the study for a few years to judge what we expect to happen. Whilst we aren’t 100% accurate, we’re not usually too far away. It’s our view on the world coupled with our view on what we can expect. Nothing too grandiose, just simple facts along with our view. We hope you find it useful for planning what to expect in 2018.

Takeaway - Drivers of Change In our view the major disruptive media force will be driven by increased bandwidths and speeds being consumed by NZ households. The fastest growing segment of fibre connections is at 100MB+ and this opens up more opportunities across 2018. From more streaming to households experimenting with new Internet enabled devices including voice assistants
Takeaway - Traditional Media News plays an important role in online content consumption and we expect this to stay strong and keep growing in 2018 ~25% Traditional print will see further declines, however these should slow for the 3rd consecutive year - newspapers
Takeaway - Streaming Services Streaming services will continue to grow across 2018, with continued significant growth of music streaming through Spotify and YouTube. Netflix growth will continue, solidifying its leadership position in video streaming services. Its penetration will increase to mid 50% range
Takeaway - Social Media Expect social media to remain strong in terms of reach, with Facebook continuing to lead But expect it to fragment further driven by those aged
