Leading platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ have amassed substantial subscriber bases. Netflix leads with over 282 million global subscribers, followed by Amazon Prime Video with an estimated 230 million, and Disney+ with approximately 153.8 million.

The rise of streaming has also empowered content creators. Since 2020, over 165 million individuals have joined the creator economy through social media platforms. Notably, YouTube hosts over 64 million content creators globally.

This shift underscores the growing importance of streaming in both consumer entertainment and content creation, highlighting its role in shaping modern media consumption and production.

Currently, YouTube and Netflix are the most widely used streaming services, providing hours of entertainment from the comfort of home. The following streaming statistics for 2024 and 2025 will offer insights into market trends.

As of February 2025, India was the country with the largest YouTube audience by far, with approximately 491 million users engaging with the popular social video platform.

Streamers’ revenues According to Kick’s estimations, streamers with 5,000 subscribers would be looking to earn around 23,750 U.S. dollars, thanks to the platform’s low commissions.

About OTT, Video Streaming Platforms

OTT stands for “over-the-top,” which refers to any TV or video content that's streamed over the internet. This includes any web or app-based streaming service, like Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus and many more. There's a wide range of OTT platforms, including Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock, CuriosityStream, Pluto TV, and so many more. Unlike OTT platforms, YouTube is a social video platform that was originally designed to allow everyday consumers to share moments caught on video. YouTube has attempted to enter the OTT market a number of times with limited success, since the market clearly sees YouTube as a place for free content.
