Data from French consultancy, Médiamétrie, reported by universfreebox.com, has said that the number of French internet users subscribing to an SVoD service has risen from 15% a year ago to 21% now. Netflix has been the main actor in this move, the firm says, ahead of Canal Play and SFR Play. The key reason for choosing a platform is the quality and richness of the catalogue and more than 75% using the services weekly, and with a significant number of subscribers (44%) accessing OTT content daily. Consumers also liked the convenience and cost compared to other ways of accessing content as well as the lack of advertising.
SVoD subscribers in France are up by 75% in two years.
