Juniper Research forecasts that the number of monthly active direct-to-cell (D2C) users will increase from 17.4 million to over 130 million by 2031. This projection highlights significant growth in mobile-first streaming consumption.
The immediate implication is that direct-to-cell streaming is moving from a 17.4 million-user base into a much larger mobile audience, with Juniper Research projecting more than 130 million monthly active users by 2031. That scale matters for streaming delivery strategies centered on phones and other cellular-connected devices. The broader ecosystem signal is that mobile-first consumption is becoming a meaningful part of the video delivery mix, not a niche usage pattern. Watch the gap between the current 17.4 million monthly active users and the 2031 forecast of 130 million-plus.
