As such, the number of subs per home is now up to 2.3. More than half of the new signups (52 percent) were for Disney+ and almost half of those opted for the discounted annual offer of \u00a349.99.<\/p>\n<p>More than half (56 percent) of U.K. households subscribe to at least one SVOD platform. Per Kantar, access to back catalog is a key differentiator for SVOD services, creating challenges for those that don&#8217;t have broad content offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix remains the most popular streaming platform, with the highest level of customer satisfaction in terms of the breadth and volume of the slate and ease of use. All three of the most-recommended series over the last three months were on Netflix: <em>Tiger King<\/em>, <em>Ozark<\/em> and <em>Stranger Things<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>At Disney+, original content and a large back catalog have helped drive subs; 40 percent of subscribers cite <em>The Mandalorian<\/em> as their reason for joining the service.<\/p>\n<p>Dominic Sunnebo, senior VP at Kantar&#8217;s Worldpanel division, noted, \u201cAs more U.K. consumers turn to subscription-funded streaming for their entertainment needs, it\u2019s clear they want a wide range of content, with Netflix and Disney+ the clear winners. With over half of SVOD subscribers happy with the value-for-money subscriptions offer, this move towards stacked services is likely to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sunnebo added, \u201cCOVID-19 has no doubt driven the short term-gains for subscription services, but with so many planning to cut their subscriptions in the coming months, SVOD brands need to adopt new marketing strategies to stem the flow. Disney\u2019s pre-launch special was a perfect example of how successful this can be, with almost half of its customers signing up to its annual subscription offer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Kantar, 6 million new video streaming subscriptions were purchased in the U.K. amid the COVID-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":10309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75,69],"tags":[2388,2451,838],"class_list":["post-10308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-analysis","category-top-stories","tag-covid-19","tag-kantar-media","tag-svod"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Streaming Booms in the U.K. Amid Lockdown - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/06\/05\/streaming-booms-in-the-u-k-amid-lockdown\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Streaming Booms in the U.K. Amid Lockdown - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"According to Kantar, 6 million new video streaming subscriptions were purchased in the U.K. amid the COVID-19 lockdown.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/06\/05\/streaming-booms-in-the-u-k-amid-lockdown\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-06-05T14:27:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-06-08T14:08:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/Kantar-SVOD-620.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/06\/05\/streaming-booms-in-the-u-k-amid-lockdown\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/06\/05\/streaming-booms-in-the-u-k-amid-lockdown\/\",\"name\":\"Streaming Booms in the U.K. Amid Lockdown - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-06-05T14:27:45+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-06-08T14:08:38+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/06\/05\/streaming-booms-in-the-u-k-amid-lockdown\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/06\/05\/streaming-booms-in-the-u-k-amid-lockdown\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/06\/05\/streaming-booms-in-the-u-k-amid-lockdown\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Streaming Booms in the U.K. Amid Lockdown\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
