Here is the full breakdown of Netflix global subscribers by year since 2013.
Netflix reported approximately 90 million subscribers across the U.S. and Canada in the fourth quarter of 2024, making North America its second-largest global market after Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Netflix reports its first subscriber loss in decades After a decline in the number of paid Netflix subscribers worldwide during the first two quarters of 2022, the streaming giant seems to be back on track, adding over 30 million net subscribers in only one year. The United States and Canada experienced the most substantial combined subscriber loss, which is particularly noteworthy considering that Netflix generates the highest average monthly revenue per user (ARPU) in these countries. When asked about the main reasons for canceling their subscription, many former Netflix users listed the price as their main incentive for leaving. The service’s average monthly fee has increased significantly over the past few years, leading audiences to switch to more affordable (ad-supported) video streaming options or cut down on subscriptions altogether. Expanding global influence and content catalogs Netflix remains the leading subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service worldwide, outperforming all other international streaming powerhouses and local providers by a significant margin. To maintain its global lead, Netflix allocates impressive sums toward marketing while also expanding its regional content. In 2021, for example, the Seattle-based company opened its first office in Stockholm to serve as a hub for the Nordics region. In addition to that, Netflix also produces more original content outside the U.S. to appeal to its diverse international user base.

Netflix has been met with tons of competition from major multinational companies. These are the key Netflix Statistics you need to know.
As of September 2020, the total number of Netflix subscribers amounted to about *** million, making it by far the most popular subscription video-on-demand service worldwide. Amazon Prime Video ranked second in the market, with *** million users. Estimates from September 2023 predict that both competitors might be up for a close race for the top spot by 2029, while Disney+ has lost considerable ground to them, compared to estimates from October 2021. Why is Disney+ growing so fast? In 2018, The Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox, which also included the TV broadcaster Star India – the owner of India’s most popular streaming platform Hotstar. Two years later, the media conglomerate launched the rebranded Disney Plus Hotstar in India and Indonesia. By 2026, the conversion of the preexisting platform will be rolled out to numerous other Asian countries. However, the number of Disney Plus subscribers decreased in the company's first two fiscal quarters of 2023 as Disney+ Hotstar, in particular, lost subscribers. Leading VOD markets According to estimates, over-the-top TV revenue reached over *** billion U.S. dollars in 2022, with subscription video-on-demand revenue accounting for the majority of that figure. However, ad-supported video-on-demand is forecast to grow the most, with revenue more than doubling between 2022 and 2028.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Netflix could add over 18 million new subscribers worldwide. This marks a positive turnaround for the streaming service, following a decline in net subscriber additions during the first two quarters of 2022, which was attributed to factors such as rising subscription costs and increased competition from more affordable, ad-supported streaming options. Shifting subscriber trends and revenue streams The customer churn at the beginning of 2022 prompted Netflix to introduce an ad-supported tier later in the year. This strategy seems to have paid off, as a study in the U.S. revealed that the addition of a basic plan with ads led to a significant increase in new subscriptions, accounting for 30 percent of total Netflix sign-ups in September 2023. Furthermore, while the subscription revenue of the streaming giant is expected to decrease in the coming years, the advertising revenue is forecast to grow, indicating the rising value of hybrid business models in the streaming market. Netflix’s content strategy Netflix's strategic focus on original TV programs appears to resonate well with American audiences. According to a survey from the third quarter of 2023, the majority of U.S. Netflix users preferred watching own productions over other content, demonstrating that content plays a crucial role in retaining and attracting subscribers. Additionally, the company's effort to expand its global influence has been evident, with Netflix increasingly investing in regional content to maintain its position as the leading video streaming service worldwide.

Content available on Netflix – additional information
In order to maintain its competitive edge in the streaming market, Netflix heavily relies on its content, offering a large base of videos for its subscribers. Over the last years, the company has significantly increased its investment in content, as Netflix’s streaming content obligations jumped from 1.3 billion U.S. dollars in 2010 to 10.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2015. Content obligations of less than one year and of one to three years account for the majority of this total. The streaming costs of acquired programming have also increased drastically since 2012, and are forecast to rise to 3.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2017.
The number of videos available on Netflix depends on the country the service is being provided. It can vary from 5,680 – number of videos available on Netflix for American subscribers as of January 2016 – to 643 videos - number of videos available for United Arab Emirates’ subscribers. This figure includes both series and movies. The United States has the largest base of content available on Netflix, followed by Brazil and Mexico.
In terms of costs, there are two types of content on Netflix: original series and acquired content. The cost of Netflix’s original series is rather low in comparison to the acquisition costs. For instance, nearly 90 million U.S. dollars were spent on original series in 2013, while expenditure of acquired programming in the same year added up to 2.3 billion U.S. dollars. Netflix's investment in original series has paid off, helping the company secure its place in this industry among television giants such as HBO and NBC. From 2013 to 2015, Netflix received a total of 78 Emmy Awards nominations for its original programs, winning 12 of them. Some of Netflix Emmy Award winners include the series ‘House Of Cards’ and ‘Orange Is The New Black’, and the documentary 'The Square'.
