Netherlands media consumption shifts to streaming
Overview
Media consumption in the Netherlands is shifting from linear television toward streaming and video-on-demand services. Recent data indicates an 8% drop in linear TV viewing time compared to the previous year, with the decline most notable among highly educated viewers and those under age 65.
This trend is driven by the availability of platforms such as Netflix, Videoland, and social media. While some traditional programs like ‘Van onschatbare waarde’ have seen viewership improvements, streaming services continue to maintain high engagement through popular titles such as ‘Doing Life’ and ‘Love is Blind: Nederland’.
