Uptick in streaming services consumption due to the coronavirus U.S. 2020

A study conducted in the United States in March 2020 revealed that 68 percent of Disney Plus users who were practising social distancing had increased their usage of the service in the last month as a result of the coronavirus, as well as 66 percent of Netflix and Hulu users who said that their consumption had also gone up in that time period. Many sources predicted that video streaming consumption would grow during the coronavirus outbreak as consumers turned to entertainment they could enjoy whilst at home, and thus far it seems that these predictions were correct. TV viewing has also increased, with local newscasts and daytime children's TV seeing an uptick in audience numbers between February and March 2020.
