The report highlights the outlook of the streaming market as more competitors continue to register an increase in revenue and new users. According to the research report:
鈥淭he profits and downloads metrics from the two platforms indicate that the market is far from saturated, and consumers are willing to pay. This allows platforms like Disney and Netflix to provide valuable content to grow. Additionally, Disney Plus appears to have the upper hand considering the services are not available globally.鈥�
Although Disney is a relatively new streaming platform, the platform鈥檚 meteoric rise is a potential indicator of what to expect in the future. However, Netflix is attempting to retain its dominance by launching new products like the mobile-only subscription despite ending its 30-day free trial.
