From the 12.61 million SVOD additions between 2016 and 2021, Russia will supply 6.69 million.<\/p>\n<p>By 2021, the top five SVOD platforms will account for half of the region\u2019s SVOD subscribers. Netflix (3.5 million subs) will be the leader, followed by Russia\u2019s Ivi (2.43 million), Megogo (1.32 million in Russia and Ukraine), Russia\u2019s Okko (1.08 million) and Poland\u2019s Ipla (900,000).<\/p>\n<p>Simon Murray, principal analyst at Digital TV Research, said: \u201cNetflix launched across the region in January 2016 with some success. However, many consider the platform to be expensive. Netflix requires customers to pay with credit cards and in dollars or Euros, despite low levels of credit card ownership in Eastern Europe. Furthermore, most of Netflix\u2019s content is in English, with little local fare. At launch, Netflix had no local distribution partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murray continued: \u201cHowever, the company adapted its strategy during 2016. It now has non-exclusive distribution agreements with Liberty Global (owner of the UPC cable networks in Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia) and Telia (active in the Baltic States).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNetflix also made a significant effort to localize its Polish platform. However, Digital TV Research does not think that Netflix will make much effort to localize its platform elsewhere, including in Russia. The Russian government is hostile to foreign media companies. Furthermore, Russia has the region\u2019s most developed SVOD sector, with several large players offering a lot of local content.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital TV Research estimates that Eastern Europe will have 18.19 million paying SVOD subscribers by 2021, up from the 3.33 million reported at end-2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7250,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75,69],"tags":[667,838],"class_list":["post-7249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-analysis","category-top-stories","tag-digital-tv-research","tag-svod"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
