In Several Countries: How Much Time We Spend with Various Media
Earlier this month, Insider Intelligence and eMarketer published the highlights of a study of media use in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, India, China, Japan, and South Korea. The highlights include discussions and infographics for each of these countries.
According to the snapshot of the report:
All over the world, people spent a lot of time at home in 2020. This produced abnormally high results for time spent with media in nearly every country. We are seeing a partial return to “normal” behavior in 2021, and expect time spent with some types of media to decline. However, when it comes to digital formats, consumers will keep many of their new media habits, at least to some extent. To help marketers understand consumption by country, eMarketer has created this Snapshot of our latest estimates for time spent with media.
