Why This Study Matters

Asian Americans are among the fastest-growing, most diverse, and most influential consumer segments in the U.S. Yet media consumption is evolving faster than ever — driven by artificial intelligence, influencer creators, and the shift to mobile-first video.

Our 2025 study offers a fresh benchmark to understand:

  • How video streaming and social platforms now dominate media consumption
  • The evolving roles of in-language and in-culture content
  • What representation means to Asian American audiences
  • The growing power and cross-over appeal of influencers
  • Differences across Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, Filipino, and other Asian segments
  • Armed with these insights, marketers, agencies, and platforms can build more informed, culturally resonant strategies.
