Mind-Boggling Stats About The YouTube Industry–And How Fast It’s Growing

Read Time: 2 Minutes

The YouTube industry is on fire.

Some stats that will blow your mind:

• There are over 2 billion active monthly users on YouTube.

• Every day, people watch over a billion hours of video on YouTube.

• YouTube reaches more 18-49 year olds in the US than any cable network.

But it’s not until you break each of these down that you realize how quickly the YouTube industry is really growing.

2 Billion Active Monthly Users

This is an impressive stat at face value.

But what’s 10x more impressive is the fact that YouTube has over 1 billion hours of video watched every day.

That’s 10 times bigger than Netflix’s numbers.

1 Billion Watch Hours Every Day

The last time an industry saw growth like this, it was in 2005 when the smartphone industry was taking off.

Fun fact, YouTube was founded in 2005.

I’m betting the same thing will happen again here.

YouTube Reaches More 18-49 Year Olds in The US Than Cable

This is amazing.

Cable is out. YouTube is in.

The future of entertainment and so much more lies in platforms such as YouTube.

Final Prediction

My guess is that the YouTube industry is going to take over traditional TV and cable networks the same way streaming platforms overtook DVDs.

At this rate, that will happen no later than 2025.

There has never been a better time to get free access to your own channel where you can reach hundreds, thousands, and even millions of people easily & make money while doing so.
