Global SVOD subscriptions will increase by 519 million between 2019 and 2025 to 1,161 million – or up by 81%. The total will climb by 170 million in 2020 alone.
Five global platforms will have 640 million paying SVOD subscribers by 2025. Disney+ will be the biggest winner by adding 176 million subscribers between 2019 and 2025 to take its total to 202 million. Netflix will add 91 million subscribers; revealing growth even for the most established platform.
No foreign platforms are expected to enter China. China’s domestic players will account for 23% of the global total by 2025.
Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “We have completely revised our forecasts for 138 countries in the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic. A major impact of lockdown has been a steep rise in SVOD subscriptions.”
