In today’s fast-moving digital world, video marketing isn’t optional. Brands that embrace a video-first strategy consistently outperform those that don’t. If you’re on the fence, here are five eye-opening stats that highlight just how big and effective video marketing has become:
1. Nearly 9 in 10 businesses now use video
A whopping 89% of businesses are leveraging video in their marketing efforts an all-time high. Not just nice-to-have, it’s a must-have for brands of all sizes who want to be strategic.
2. Marketers overwhelmingly see value in video marketing
An impressive 95% of companies say video marketing is a crucial part of their strategy in 2025. That’s nearly five out of every five brands. Want to stay visible and relevant? Video is the answer.
3. Video marketing delivers high ROI, no sales pitch needed
93% of marketers report a positive return on investment from video.
From driving engagement to generating leads and boosting sales, video converts.
4. Short-form is the game-changer
Consumers are glued to brief, powerful videos. Short-form content (under 1 minute) has 2× the engagement of longer ones. And it’s not just Gen Z –73% of all consumers rely on short videos for product research.
5. Mobile-first video is non-negotiable
By 2025, 82% of internet traffic will be video, with more than 75% of views on mobile devices. If your videos aren’t optimized for small screens, you’re missing out.
