According to Play Store data, Youtube for Android TV now has over 100 million installs all-time since its release in 2014.  Youtube for Android TV has earlier hit the 50 million installs milestone, in May of 2020.

What’s notable here is that YouTube is a pre-installed app on virtually all Android TV devices, so this metric gives us a good indication of how the platform is growing and expanding. 

Recently, Google mentioned that there are over 80 million monthly active Android TV devices in the wild, so YouTube having over 100 million installs tells us that even more have been sold and fallen out of rotation. 1020 was a huge year of growth for nearly every streaming platform, Google even mentioned at I/O that Android TV growth jumped by 80% in the United States.
