US adults will spend 1 minute less with media this year than in 2022, although the longer-term topline trend is stable. Among formats and platforms, CTV is grabbing share, mobile is approaching a plateau, and Netflix and TikTok reign supreme.

Heavy media consumption in Canada across digital and traditional channels has led to a range of effective ad formats for brands.

Despite uncertainty, marketing budgets could be on the rise: Thanks to digital and social challenges, print might benefit more than you’d think.

On today's episode, we discuss emerging podcast sub-worlds, how listener behavior has (permanently?) changed, and how the ad dollars are fairing. We then talk about what we expect from Twitter's Ticketed Spaces, what is going on in the world of print, and how Americans get their news on social media. Tune in to the discussion with eMarketer senior forecasting analyst at Insider Intelligence Peter Vahle.

Average daily time spent with media shot past the 10-hour mark last year, pushing media consumption to new levels in Canada.

This report summarizes our forecasts for nine countries—the US, Canada, France, Germany, the UK, China, India, Japan, and South Korea—and offers comparative analyses of the major time spent numbers for each.

Total ad spending in France and Germany will fall this year, as a result of the pandemic. Traditional media will suffer most; digital ad spend will rise marginally, to €4.93 billion ($5.51 billion) in France and €7.38 billion ($8.27 billion) in Germany.

After reaching an expected saturation point last year, daily media time in Canada will climb further this year based on our latest forecasts. COVID-19 has driven up demand for media while people are quarantined at home, which will impact our full-year forecast.

Over the course of just a few months, the coronavirus has changed how consumers in China digest media. As adults are taking additional precautions and continuing to stay home, they are spending more time with both digital media and TV. We increased our projections for time spent with digital in China and lowered those figures for print.

Asia-Pacific is home to some of the world's fastest-growing and most dynamic economies, but the current US-China trade war and other geopolitical factors are threatening the regions' economic vitality and are impacting digital ad spend.

As media time reaches a saturation point, consumers in Canada are showing a decided taste for the immediacy of digital.

Traditional and digital channels are driving media consumption in parallel in India, unlike Western countries where time spent with traditional media is shrinking.

The reports in this collection look at time spent with media in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, China, Japan, South Korea and India. Two other reports take a close look at time spent with mobile and social in the US.
