Western Europe to add $13 billion in OTT revenues Western European OTT TV episode and movie revenues will reach $23.02 billion in 2023; more than double the $9.84 billion recorded in 2017. Revenues for 18 countries are expected to climb by $2.63 billion in 2018 alone. Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “The UK is the largest OTT revenue earner in the region by some distance. Its $2.98 billion generated 30% of the 2017 total. The UK’s $6.80 billion in 2023 will represent a similar proportion.” OTT TV & video revenues by source ($ million) 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 2017 2023 SVOD 4,436 12,472 DTO 1,167 2,160 Rental 928 1,449 AVOD 3,314 6,941 Source: Digital TV Research SVOD became the region’s largest OTT revenue source in 2016 by overtaking AVOD.

The UK will remain the SVOD revenue leader by some distance – generating as much as second-placed Germany and third-placed France combined by 2023.

By 2023, 69.3% of Western European TV households will subscribe to an SVOD platform; up from 38.4% at end-2017. [Gross subscriptions. If a household takes two subscriptions then it is counted as two subscribers]. Norway will have the highest proportion at 104.8% by 2023. Germany, Italy, France and Spain will all fall below the regional average by 2023. Netflix will remain the largest SVOD platform by some distance, with 49.75 million paying subscribers in 2023 – or half of the region’s total. This is the same as the 2017 proportion.

AVOD revenues will double from $160 million in 2017 to $330 million in 2023. Main assumptions behind the forecasts • The Dutch SVOD sector is quickly becoming crowded and very lively. • Two high profile platform, KPN Play and T-Mobile’s Knippr, closed recently. HBO closed quite soon after launch. • RTL XL and Videoland will merge. • Netflix benefited from the lack of significant competition. • Amazon Prime started in November 2017. • Several FTA broadcasters charge viewers to watch their catch-up services. • Pay TV penetration is very high and won’t grow. Source: Digital TV Research • SVOD revenues overtook AVOD in 2015. SVOD revenues will rocket from $358 million in 2017 to $810 million in 2023. SVOD subscribers will grow from 3.89 million in 2017 (52% of TV households) to 6.26 million in 2023 (83%). • Netflix launched in the Netherlands in September 2013. We forecast 3.18 million subscribers by 2023, up from 2.23 million at end-2017. Prices increased in October 2017 to €7.99-13.99/month. • In October 2015, incumbent KPN agreed to carry the Netflix app. Eleven months later Netflix agreed a worldwide deal with Liberty Global, which includes Ziggo in the Netherlands as the first country to follow the UK by launching in late 2016. Vodafone also carries Netflix. • In October 2013, Netflix signed a deal with Disney for exclusive rights in the first pay TV window. The company also acquired local titles Tuscan Wedding and Loving Ibiza. Original content includes Undercover. • Amazon Prime Video started operations in November 2016 as part of its global rollout. Amazon Prime (€49/year or €5.99/month) started in Belgium and the Netherlands in November 2017. Based on trends from other countries, we expect 70% of Amazon Prime subs to watch videos. For these subs, we have dedicated 50% of their fee to Amazon Prime Video. We forecast 1.02 million Amazon Prime Video subs by 2023. • The Netherlands is likely to be a target market for Disney’s international platform after it launches in 2019. HBO started a standalone platform but folded into Ziggo’s service.
