SVOD consumption has overtaken pay TV in almost 30 countries
Total worldwide subscriptions are forecast to reach over 1 Billion by 2025, including huge growth in India and China.
India is forecasted to have the third highest number of SVOD subscribers worldwide by the end of 2020 due to increasingly affordable devices, cheaper data and faster internet access.
This growth will be driven by new services like MUBI, with Amazon and Netflix’s combined market share decreasing from 42% today to 34% by 2025.
