About This Report
Digital media dominates daily consumption, but legacy formats still hold key moments. As streaming, audio, and social media surge, advertisers face a fragmented landscape where attention is growing—but harder to capture.

Digital’s share of time spent with media in Canada now accounts for more than two-thirds of total media time. We expect that share to increase even further as traditional formats decline.

This deck covers:

  • Our forecast for average daily time spent with media by format
  • Estimates for mobile devices, digital video and audio, and connected TV (CTV)
  • Our first forecast for time spent with social media, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat
