Disney+ will only launch in South Africa and Nigeria. Paramount+ is only likely to start in South Africa. HBO Max will not be a stand-alone platform in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Netflix will continue to lead the SVOD market, with 6.4 million subscribers by 2027, accounting for 48 percent of the region\u2019s total. With its limited rollout, Disney+ will just have 1 million subscriptions by 2027. Amazon Prime will be up and running in Nigeria and South Africa in 2023, with a projected 2.6 million subscribers by 2027. Apple TV+ is forecast to have 199,000 subscribers by that time, with Showmax at 2.1 million subs.
