Additionally, there has been a rise in the consumption of user-generated content on platforms like YouTube, as viewers are attracted to the authenticity and relatability of these videos. One of the key trends in the TV & Video market in the Nordics is the growth of connected TV devices.

Consumers in the region have the financial means to invest in premium streaming services and connected TV devices, driving the demand for these products and services.
