With Disney planning to roll out SVOD service globally, DTR contends the platform will help increase Western Europe SVOD users to 131.2 million by 2024 compared to 65.19 million at the end of 2018.

“Disney+ will make a strong and immediate impact, given its extensive brand recognition and impressive content line-up,” Simon Murray, principal analyst at DTR, said in a statement.

Indeed, 43.4% of Western European homes will have at least one SVOD subscription by 2024, compared to 26.3% in 2018.

The report contends average households in Europe will pay for 1.71 SVOD subscriptions by 2024 compared to 1.41 subs in 2018.
