Latin America SVOD subscription forecasts by platform
Digital TV Research is forecasting Brazil will provide 59 million SVOD subscriptions by 2029, with Mexico bringing in a further 43 million.
Seven US-based platforms (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Star+, Paramount+, Apple TV+ and Max) will account for 83% of the region’s paying SVOD subscriptions by end-2029.
Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “All of the major US platforms are very active in Latin America. Another dimension is added by local players such as Globo and Televisa [Vix].”
Netflix will add 9 million subscribers between 2023 and 2029, with Disney+ up by 8 million, Max by 10 million and Paramount+ increasing by 6 million. Globoplay, only available in Brazil, will take another 8% of the total.
