SVoD Market Trends and Opportunities in Americas

SVoD Market Trends and Opportunities in Americas

Summary

SVoD service adoption has been gaining popularity over the last several years, putting pressure over the traditional pay-TV industry which, in some mature markets, has started to generate customer disconnections. This is the case of the North American, where the increasing adoption of SVoD services has been negatively affecting the traditional pay-TV industry resulting into continuous net subscriber losses since 2015. Despite the demand for SVoD services has been also been increasing in Latin America, particularly since the arrival of Netflix in 2011, SVoD adoption has not yet had a significant impact on the pay-TV market and it is not expected do over the next five years. However, it is anticipated that subscriber growth will slow down in some of the largest markets, including Brazil and Colombia.

North America is the largest SVoD regional market worldwide. The adoption of SVoD services in the US and Canada has been accelerating over the last several years, directly impacting the traditional pay-TV industry which has been chaining net subscriber losses since 2015.

The demand for SVoD services has been increasing rapidly in Latin America over the last few years. It is expected that the Latin American SVoD market will continue expanding as broadband penetration, both fixed and mobile, continues to increase, and the preferences of consumers continue to evolve from a traditional linear pay-TV model towards a hybrid model in which the consumption of linear content becomes less central.

• Although cord-cutting has not yet affected the Brazilian pay-TV market, and we do not think it will do over the forecast period, the popularization of on-demand content and the emergence of new commercial platforms in the SVoD market, will slow down pay-TV subscriber growth. Increased broadband adoption, both fixed and mobile, and the increasing signature of partnerships with telcos and traditional pay-TV players, will also help to drive growth in the SVoD market.
