How Much Do Advertisers Spend on Streaming TV? Q4 2025 Data
U.S. advertisers spent approximately $33 billion on connected TV and streaming television advertising in 2025, according to eMarketer projections. That represents a 16% increase from 2024 and marks streaming TV's continued emergence as a dominant force in the advertising market. For context, this spending level now approaches what advertisers spent on the entire cable television ecosystem just a few years ago. The implications for businesses of all sizes are significant: streaming TV advertising has evolved from an experimental channel to a core component of modern marketing strategy, and the infrastructure supporting it has become sophisticated enough to accommodate budgets ranging from $50 to $50 million.
