In the second quarter of 2024, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix were the most popular subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services in the United States with market shares of 22 percent, based on the users' interest in adding content to their watch lists of certain streaming platforms. Max followed with a market share of 14 percent.
While subscription streaming platforms increased their subscriber bases in the years 2020 and 2021 due to the measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 and 2023 saw services such as Netflix and Disney+ lose a substantial number of customers. Furthermore, the direct-to-consumer (DTC) businesses of large media companies are struggling to turn a profit. Disney, for example, reported a loss of 2.5 billion U.S. dollars for its streaming services in 2023.
In order to compensate for subscriber and income losses, streaming companies implemented several strategies, such as launching more profitable ad-supported tiers, cracking down on credential sharing, laying off thousands of employees, and spending less on content. The Walt Disney Company was already able to increase DTC profits recently and predicted to achieve profitability by the end of 2024. Its cost-cutting measures include layoffs and savings in content spending by reducing content produced and removing TV shows and movies from its streaming services.
Two years after small subscriber losses ultimately erased $200B in shareholder value, Netflix has almost fully recovered its peak share price, and kicks off the latest round of media and entertainment earnings with the wind at its back.
In a move to shift investor focus to other financial metrics like revenue Netflix also said it would stop releasing subscriber numbers next year. As the company stops disclosing subscribers, the competition may follow suit, only making the industry more opaque. Fortunately, Parrot Analytics modeling shows that the supply of content available on platforms as well as other factors like the demand for these shows and movies are strong predictors of subscribers and other streaming metrics and allow us to estimate these numbers with a high degree of confidence.
Based on data from the streaming guide JustWatch.com, Netflix has lost 13% of its streaming video-on-demand (VOD) market share to competitors since January 2020. The following chart demonstrates steadily declining interest in Netflix programming among 30 million JustWatch users in 120+ countries, over the past three years. As search volume for Netflix content wanes, interest is increasing steadily in Disney Plus, HBO Max, and Apple TV Plus.
To cut costs in the face of mounting challenges, Netflix launched two rounds of layoffs in 2022, firing a total of 450 employees across the United States. According to Variety, these cuts amounted to roughly 4% of its roughly 11,000 global employees. Despite that, Netflix maintained an aggressive $17 billion budget for new content in 2022, matching its 2021 content spending.
ABC News reports that Netflix lost nearly 1.2 million subscribers during the first half of 2022. This dramatic loss drove the company to introduce an ad-supported subscription plan that costs $7 per month in the U.S. The new price point is less than half the price of its most popular plan. This ad-supported option has proved extremely popular at a time of high cost of living, helping Netflix add 10 million subscribers in the second half of 2022.

During the pandemic, the company almost had a therapeutic or at least a calming effect on viewers. Stuck at home, people entertained themselves by binge-watching films and shows on Netflix, which made their enforced seclusion more bearable. Even those who were not TV addicts under normal circumstances signed up for the streaming platform, pushing its number of subscribers ever upward during the global lockdown.
When, after the pandemic, people began to cancel their subscriptions, Netflix resolved to reel them back in by producing more original programming than any company in the modern Hollywood industry. Netflix releases more than 700 titles a year. It produces more films, animation, documentaries, reality TV, scripted TV, and stand-up comedy than anyone else in the industry.
To understand whether Netflix offers valuable investment opportunities this year, continue reading. The sections below contain enlightening historical and statistical information that might influence your decision to invest.
Annual revenue growth refers to an increase in revenue over a year. It is the rate of increase in total revenues divided by total revenues from the same period in the previous year. Revenue growth can be measured as a percent increase from a starting point.
Netflix spent $13 billion on original shows in 2023. This is a decrease from the previous year when Netflix invested $16.84 billion in content. The company plans to increase its spending on content to almost $17 billion in 2024. Consult the table below to see how much Netflix has invested in original content over the years:
What has negatively influenced the number of Netflix subscribers is the price of its streaming services. In April, May, and June of 2023 Netflix added 5.9 million new subscribers. This is almost three times as many as analysts expected after Netflix clamped down on households that were password sharing.
There are also newer competitors such HBOMax and PeacockTV that pose a threat to Netflix. Both continue to grow in 2023, with market shares of 10.31% and 8.08%, respectively. It seems that these relatively newer entrants to the market are successfully gaining traction and attracting subscribers.
Netflix can be watched from all corners of the world. Yet its products are not distributed equally across the globe, though the company does not discriminate out of spite. The problem is that each country has a different set of laws that apply to licensing of content. When Netflix selects content, it does this in keeping with the laws of the particular country where it intends to stream its movies and shows. In other words, it is not Netflix but rather the countries that set up restrictions on the content their people watch. Netflix can do nothing but respect the licensing laws of its customers. This results in an uneven distribution of shows and movies.
Before co-founding Netflix, Reed Hastings started a company called Pure Software, which brought him his first fortune. His experience at Pure Software inspired Hastings to prioritize simplicity in his management of Netflix.
