Digital TV Research, a global market research company, forecasts that the number of subscribers to Disney+ (294 million) will overtake the Netflix total (286 million) by 2026.
Disney+ Hotstar likely to have more subscribers (98 million) than Netflix in India versus 13 million for Netflix, Advanced Television reported quoting the research firm’s SVOD platform forecast report.
“Disney+ Hotstar will roll out to 13 Asian countries by 2026,” the report said quoting Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research.
“These countries will supply 108 million (37 per cent) of the total global Disney+ subscribers, but only $2.62 billion or 13 per cent of the platform’s revenues by 2026. Hotstar subscribers pay less than a third of the monthly subscription fee of their US counterpart,” Murray explained.
Global revenues for Disney+ is projected be $20.76 billion by 2026, half of Netflix’s $39.52 billion.
