Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “Netflix’s dominance of global SVOD is falling – from a third the global subscribers in 2016 to a quarter by 2022. However, the company will enjoy considerable growth – adding 28 million subs between 2017 and 2022.”
Netflix’s share of global SVOD revenues will fall from 45% in 2017 and to 40% by 2022. Despite the falling market shares, Netflix’s revenues will increase by 55% between 2017 and 2022. Total global SVOD revenues will more than double from $17 billion in 2016 to $41 billion in 2022.
