Practice a quick Google search for "presentation statistics" and you won't notice much.

Sure, you'll become the broad stats like the fact there are "500 one thousand thousand PowerPoint users" or that"30 million presentations are created daily". But beyond that high-level stuff … you're not going to get the fun details such as:

91% of people feel that a well-designed slide deck would make them experience more confident when giving a presentation.

Yes, today you're in for a treat because I've got some exciting survey data from 269 people (Presentation Panda email subscribers) who provided feedback on their attitudes towards presentations, their preferred presentation tool/software, the challenges they face when creating slides, and more!

I'1000 going to update this post every year with new stats, and I'll as well inquire other manufacture friends and websites to do their own surveys, so nosotros can cover a bunch of unlike niches, get a bigger sample size, and more.

Let's take a look at the graphic summary and then we can talk about some of the insights and what they might mean below.

And so what do these survey results tell us?

When I created this survey on presentations I really wanted to get a good understanding of how people create their slide decks, their confidence level, their challenges, and more.

Here are some of the things I plant most interesting:

1.) People realize the power of presentations — 92% concur that presentation skills are disquisitional to success at work. This was 22% higher than what was uncovered from the same question that Harris (a reputable market research company) asked about a year ago. Peradventure the reason why our results are fifty-fifty higher is that our savvy panda respondents simply know better than the boilerplate presenter? Regardless, of whether its 92% or 70% it's a high number! People empathise the simple fact that those who create and evangelize outstanding presentations excel in business. After all, a presentation can win that business deal, accelerate that promotion, and much more than. On the other paw, poor presentation skills mean that leaders fail to inspire their teams, products neglect to sell, entrepreneurs fail to attract funding, and careers neglect to soar. That seems like a big price to pay for neglecting such a basic skill that anyone tin can amend upon.

2.) People believe most presentations today suck — 79% agree that "about presentations are boring." From poor image choices to lengthy bullet points nosotros take talked about the many ways a presentation tin go wrong. We've joked around in past and said that "99% of presentations suck". Unfortunately, we were not that far off from the truth! What'south also truthful is that creating and delivering a presentation that engages hearts and minds does accept work and creativity. Simply the results are conspicuously worth it (as seen in #1 to a higher place).

3.) People understand the importance of awesome design — 91% concord that they would experience more than confident if they knew their presentation was beautifully designed. We call up people feel this way because people know that a overnice looking slide deck automatically takes things to the next level. Information technology shows an audience your character, your attention to item, organization skills, creativity, and then much more. Who wouldn't feel confident knowing they take checked all those boxes earlier even opening their mouth during the presentation?

4.) Public speaking is scary — 31% hold that public speaking scares them. I'grand surprised that this was not higher. The fear of presenting is very real amongst professionals in corporate America today, and then much so that that many people are desperate to avoid it. Peradventure the survey audition was more comfortable at public speaking than the average person? Perhaps there is some dissimilar interpretation of what scary is? Information technology's interesting to note that 68% percent said that they felt they were "good" or "outstanding" at public speaking so the data could be pointing in that direction.

5.) PowerPoint is still very much king — When we asked people what presentation software they primarily use 89% said they utilise PowerPoint. That's a HUGE market share pct! Seriously its very rare that y'all see cards so stacked for i particular make over another. The 2nd biggest was Keynote (four%), followed by Prezi (iii%), Google Slides (3%), and "other" (i%).

6.) People utilize PowerPoint because its familiar, easy, and many don't have a option — When we asked people why they liked PowerPoint the results were crystal clear. People use ppt because it's what they accept always used (73%), it's easy to use (59%) … (since they take been using it for so long), and because many don't have a selection (43%). PowerPoint is simply the industry standard and it's what almost people in most every arrangement use (recollect the 89% marketplace share in #v to a higher place). Going against the grain with a different presentation tool is difficult (if not impossible) for people. This means that competitors like Prezi have a tough uphill battle to climb. As i respondent mentioned, "I accept found PowerPoint provides all I need, then I have non bothered to cheque out the others."

7.) People may be slightly amend at designing slides than public speaking — It was interesting to see from the survey data that people are slightly meliorate at designing a presentation (77% say they are good or outstanding) vs. public speaking (68% say that are good or outstanding).

8.) The hardest parts of creating a presentation include crafting a compelling story, designing a creative layout, finding and using great visuals, and condensing data — Presentations are tough. We already knew that. But what nosotros never quantified is what aspects were more difficult than others. It was interesting to see what came to the height of the list … storytelling 46%, designing compelling layouts (45%), incorporating visuals (41%), and condensing info (38%). It was also interesting to see what fell to the bottom of the list like "using PowerPoint properly" (half-dozen%) and finding attractive fonts (7%).

ix.) 79% spend at least one hour practicing their presentation – While there seemed to be a range in how much time people spent practicing, 79% put in at least ane hour. 22% spent five+ hours in practice mode. Impressive! Our motto at Presentation Panda is only to practice until you know your info so well you could give your talk in your slumber. If that means spending eight+ hours practicing and then so be information technology!

10.) And finally … most people put a lot of endeavour into their presentations – People know that a lot is on the line with a presentation and that'southward why 88% of people put "quite a bit" or "a huge corporeality" of effort into their presentations.

Conclusion
