Screen Digest Data

Screen Digest has provided the following data:

– In 2010, 55% of all the video content consumed online in the US will be user generated

– The number of user generated videos will reach 44 billion

– User generated videos will make up 15% of total US online video revenues

– The US ad revenues will reach $900 million by 2010.

Arash Amel, Senior Analyst, Screen Digest, said: “As yet though, no one has found a way to make real money from the huge audiences who participate on these sites.

User generated online video will drive the majority of Internet content consumed in the future, but despite its huge popularity with web surfers worldwide, the major players have yet to find a way to generate significant revenues from it. The interesting developments in this market are going to be about who can monetise user generated online video, and how they’ll do it”. [source]
