Driven by global expansion, award-winning TVs
and streaming devices, and a delightful viewer experience that is
the lead-in to all TV
Roku, the #1 selling TV OS in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico*, has
surpassed 90 million streaming households in the first week of
January 2025**, a significant milestone as streaming becomes the
leading way to watch TV. As the top selling TV OS for over five
years in the U.S.***, Roku is in nearly half of all U.S. broadband
households.
“Roku’s extensive scale sets us apart in the streaming industry,
with more engagement than any other TV OS platform in the U.S.,”
said Anthony Wood, Founder and CEO, Roku. “Thanks to our
laser focus on simplifying and enhancing the streamer’s journey,
Roku is the preferred choice for millions of viewers. I’m grateful
to our customers, partners, advertisers, and employees for helping
us reach this notable milestone.”
In 2024, Roku celebrated 10 years of the Roku TV program and 15
years since the launch of Roku’s first connected streaming device,
with millions of units sold to customers globally. Roku TVs and
devices deliver an unparalleled viewing experience with a simple
and iconic interface, seamless navigation, and a commitment to
excellence that sets the standard in streaming. Last year, Roku
continued to introduce innovative features that enhance the TV
experience, including Backdrops, which transforms any Roku TV into
a work of art, and Roku Smart Picture, which automatically
optimizes picture quality.
Roku TVs and streaming players offer incredible value for
customers with an always expanding content library, including over
500 free live linear channels in the U.S., premium exclusive
content, and thousands of free-on demand options. The Roku Channel
is a top 10 streaming service in the U.S.**** and has seen over 80%
year-over-year growth*****. With the increasing number of streaming
choices available, Roku’s features like universal search, What to
Watch, and Live TV Guide make it easy to find your favorite content
across multiple apps, and Roku’s unique content destinations, like
the recent Olympics Zone, offer genre-based programming from across
the platform in one convenient location, for seamless browsing and
discovery.
Roku devices, featuring the Roku Experience, form the foundation
of Roku's platform business, which encompasses advertising and
subscriptions. Advertisers love Roku because it’s the lead-in to
all TV, featuring unique advertising experiences like Roku City and
the Sports Zone. Streaming services appreciate the ability to
promote subscriptions on the Roku platform, and Roku Pay simplifies
the process for streamers seeking a simple way to sign up for and
manage subscriptions through Roku.
