Africa's SVOD Landscape: Netflix and Showmax in Close Competition as Subscriptions Soar


Dublin, Oct. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResearchAndMarkets.com adds the "Africa SVOD Forecasts 2023 -2029" to itsoffering.

The report is projecting a significant rise in SVOD subscriptions across the African continent. Contrary to trends in the US, Africa is on the verge of a notable SVOD growth trajectory, with subscriptions forecasted to reach 18 million by 2029 from 8 million at the end of 2023.

The forecast underscores a burgeoning SVOD market, although penetration is still considered low, with only 7.7% of TV households anticipated to have at least one SVOD subscription by 2029.

Simon Murray, Principal Analyst, stated, "The SVOD sector in Anglophone Africa is fast morphing into a battleground between global giant Netflix and local contender Showmax. Showmax, enriched with local content and sports rights, has notably expanded its content arsenal by securing access to NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures, and HBO content."

Netflix is poised to have a subscriber base of 7.55 million by 2029, marking an addition of 3.4 million subscribers from end-2023. Showmax follows closely with an expected 4.40 million paying subscribers by 2029, nearly tripling its subscriber count from 2023.
