2023 trends in the Australian media and communications sectors.

New research from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA):

The ACMA has today released new research giving insight into the 2023 trends in the Australian media and communications sectors. 

Some of the key findings include a continued decrease in the use of landline phones, an increase in messaging via apps such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, and continued growth in the use of smart devices such as TVs and wearables. 

Online viewing continued to grow in 2023, with more Australians watching subscription streaming services, both paid and free-to-air (FTA), and viewing user-generated or short-form online videos. Overall FTA viewership was stable with the increase in FTA catch-up streaming services compensating for the decline in broadcast FTA TV.
