Long-form web originals lag reels and shorts despite rising investment

According to media consulting firm Ormax, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, the most viewed long-format web original in the first half of 2025, clocked in a viewership of only 27.7 million.

In comparison, online video viewers increased 3% (15 million) in 2024 to reach 551 million, which is around 98% of active smartphones, according to a Ficci EY report.

Total time spent on social media and video consumption rose 18% last year, with YouTube dominating the space, capturing 92% of all online video consumption. Premium platforms—comprising AVOD or advertising video-on-demand, SVOD (subscription video-on-demand) services and freemium—accounted for the remaining 8%.
