The way consumers interact with TV is evolving—and it’s no longer just about watching. According to Parks Associates’ recent report “Interactive & Shoppable TV: The Next Wave of CTV Revenues,” 7.5 million households (8% of U.S. homes with a CTV device) have purchased a physical good through a connected TV experience in the past 30 days. That’s a powerful sign that viewers are becoming comfortable with transactional video—and an even stronger signal that brands need to adapt, fast.

The same report shows 52% of consumers are likely or very likely to take action through a CTV platform, including:

  • Ordering food from special TV promotions
  • Clicking for more info during a commercial break
  • Shopping for merchandise tied to a show or event
  • Engaging with ads in real time to learn more

As shoppable and interactive TV continues to gain traction, brands that lean into this new wave of engagement stand to benefit the most. But like any digital advancement, trust is critical. In fact, 81% of viewers still have at least one concern when it comes to interactive TV features—reminding us that while the tech is here, the strategy must be thoughtful.
