**San Francisco, CA** – Google has announced that its Google TV platform and underlying Android TV OS are now active on over 270 million devices worldwide, a significant milestone marking the platform’s rapid growth. This represents an 80% increase since early 2023, when the number of active devices surpassed 150 million.
The growth is attributed to both the expansion of form factors, such as smart TVs, streaming sticks, and even smart home devices, as well as the increasing adoption of Android TV by major brands. Companies like TCL and Hisense, which sell millions of TVs annually, are now incorporating Android TV into their products.
Google claims this new milestone makes Android TV the largest streaming platform globally, although publicly available data to confirm this is currently unavailable.
The company is also expanding Google TV’s reach to new markets, including Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. This global expansion further emphasizes Google’s commitment to providing a seamless and user-friendly TV experience across the world.
“We are incredibly proud to be bringing a better TV experience to 270 million monthly active Google TV and Android TV devices,” said a Google spokesperson. “This rapid growth demonstrates the platform’s appeal and its potential to continue driving the future of television.”
