“Online video viewing has become an essential part of the digital consumer experience in Turkey with 9 out of 10 internet users consuming video content every month,” said Mike Read, senior vice president and managing director, comScore Europe. “Despite its high user penetration, online video remains a relatively nascent industry with continued growth potential as consumers begin to shift from primarily short-form user generated content to long-form professionally-produced content.”
Young Audience Shows Highest Engagement with Online Video
In February 2011, 89 percent of the Turkish online population consumed online video and watched an average of 144 videos per person totaling 14.8 hours of viewing time during the month.
