According to MediaPost, 98% of US households were reachable on Connected TV (CTV) by the end of 2022. PharmaVoice suggests there’s no denying that streaming has become a pervasive part of culture and consumption in the past decade. It will no doubt become one of the strongest avenues of advertising for the pharma industry. Despite widespread adoption of CTV advertising throughout the pharma industry, it remains a relatively small part of the average pharma advertiser’s portfolio. While linear television has fallen in the ranks of advertising channels, as more companies come to understand that streaming can reach audiences that traditional broadcast used to hit at a lower premium.
Adults 50+ now account for 39% of the overall streaming watch time.
The highly important age 50+ pharma demographic is increasingly moving over to streaming, with 4/5ths of adults over 50 participating in some form of streaming.
