What percentage of social video ad spending does Facebook account for?

Facebook will account for 85.4% of all US social network video ad revenues in 2019, down from 86.0% in 2018.

Which streaming services launched this quarter?

Disney+ and Apple TV+ debuted in Q4 2019. In 2020, HBO Max, Quibi and NBCUniversal’s Peacock will debut, meaning increased competition for the established players.
