Summary

  • Hub Research data published by The Streamable put Google TV and Android TV at 14% of the U.S. streaming OS market, behind Roku’s 37% and Amazon Fire TV’s 17%.
  • That share places Google ahead of Samsung’s Tizen, Apple’s tvOS and LG’s webOS, a stronger U.S. position than the platform is often assumed to hold.
  • Google’s standing is supported by broad device distribution through TV brands including TCL and Hisense, plus streaming players that may have lifted its share versus earlier smart-TV-only rankings.
  • The same survey found users most want AI TV tools that filter out unwanted content and recommend similar shows—features Google TV already offers.
