These platforms are used in households worldwide, providing family-friendly content for children, dramas and comedies for adults, and educational programming for lifelong learners.

The European Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) market has undergone significant transformation over the past decade. In 2010, SVOD revenues in the EU28 were a modest €12 million. By 2020, this figure had surged to €9.7 billion, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 95%. This explosive growth was primarily driven by the entry of global players like Netflix and the subsequent proliferation of SVOD services across the continent. The expansion of high-speed broadband infrastructure and increased internet penetration facilitated the adoption of SVOD services.

Traditional broadcasters responded by launching their own platforms, leading to a diverse and competitive market landscape. Countries like the UK and Germany emerged as significant markets, with a growing number of consumers subscribing to multiple services. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this trend, as lockdowns increased demand for home entertainment options. Regulatory frameworks, such as the European Union's Digital Single Market strategy, aimed to harmonize digital services across member states, promoting cross-border access to online content.

Additionally, the Digital Markets Act sought to ensure fair competition among digital platforms, impacting how SVOD services operate within the EU. To cater to different consumer segments, SVOD providers are experimenting with flexible pricing models, including ad-supported tiers and mobile-only plans. This flexibility aims to attract price-sensitive customers and expand the subscriber base.

The European SVOD market is characterized by intense competition among global giants and local players. While platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ hold significant market shares, regional services such as France's Canal+ and Germany's Joyn offer localized content that appeals to specific audiences. The market's fragmentation encourages innovation and diversity in content offerings. However, it also leads to challenges in subscriber retention, as consumers have numerous options to choose from.
