Market Demand for Streaming TV Transparency
According to recent data, **83%** of Americans now use streaming services, with many preferring ad-supported options over expensive subscriptions. This shift has led advertisers to invest billions globally. However, these investments face challenges from limited transparency and fragmented reporting. Notably, DV research reveals that **15%** of CTV programmatic advertising, intended for premium streaming environments, occurs outside branded players, resulting in over **$1 billion** wasted each quarter.
In light of these findings, nearly **70%** of marketers report being unable to justify their streaming TV investments without improved transparency.
