Numerical data and audience figures

 

The numerical data and audience figures for documentaries convey that viewership has experienced a significant rise in recent years, driven by streaming platforms with 70% of Netflix users watching documentary content and the demand for documentaries growing by 142% between 2018 and 2021, becoming one of the most fast- growing genres on streaming. In 2024, the average subscriber watched over 4 hours of documentary content per month on major streaming services. The Documentary audiences tend to skew slightly older (30+) and female.

The top documentary genres are true crimes, historical and cultural.
