The number of SVOD subscriptions worldwide is on pace to hit 1.64 billion in 2026, with 491 million additions since this year, according to Digital TV Research.

In the third quarter of this year, the number of global SVOD subscribers rose by 217.6 million, according to Strategy Analytics, the highest increase ever, topping the previous record of 211.7 million in Q4 2018.

The number of SVOD subscriptions worldwide rose by 28 percent in 2019, according to Digital TV Research.

SVOD platforms will have to work hard to retain the subs they gained amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a range of new studies.

Disney+ is expected to add 176 million subscribers to reach 202 million customers by 2025, according to Digital TV Research.

Strategy Analytics has revised its global SVOD projections as stay-home measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic drive an increase in subscriber take-up.

There will be about 147 million SVOD subscribers in North America by the end of this year, according to GlobalData, which projects that number will rise by a compound annual growth rate of 9 percent through 2023.

Subscriber abandonment is outpacing adoption rates at Amazon Prime and HBO Now, among other platforms in the U.S. and the U.K., Juniper Research says in a new whitepaper, while Netflix continues to outperform its rivals.

New data from Digital TV Research projects that global subscriptions to pay-TV and SVOD platforms will reach 1.9 billion by 2023, up from 1.4 billion at the end of last year, with the fastest growth coming from on-demand services.
