UK Media Consumption Survey: Key Points

Media Tracker is a joint report released by KPMG and Markit.
This report from 2015 has shown the following trends in the industry.

KPMG Survey

Seismic shift in media consumption patterns across the UK
KPMG Survey

Access to multiple devices is commonplace across all UK households and not simply confined to the young, or highest income group
KPMG Survey

Rapid technological take-up has also spread viewing of 'catch-up TV' to multiple devices, but divergent preferences and habits persist between younger and older viewers
KPMG Survey

Tablets are the clear winner in terms of expected uptake over the next six months, and rising numbers of people are likely to access 'catch-up TV' and online news from their devices
KPMG Survey

Future consumption of online news is a trend among the youngest age groups and highest income groups, continuing the shifts away from reading print media
