Commonly dubbed the “generation that won’t spend”, North American Millennials are expected to spend $62bn on media content this year, according to Deloitte.
Around 83 million US and Canadian Millennials will spend $750 per person on paid content, says Deloitte, who claim that young audiences will be choosier and more price-sensitive than similar audiences of the past.
The cumulative media spend will be less than five% of their total expected spending of $1.45 trillion in 2015.
The research found that Millennials are spending less on traditional media than they did in the past, with the modern audience less likely to subscribe to a print newspaper in 2015. American 18-34 year olds are half as likely as the national average to subscribe to a print newspaper, but spending has declined rather than ceased.
