On back of Disney+ service launched in 2019, company predicted to be No 1 by 2024
Netflix is forecast to lose its crown as the world’s biggest video streaming provider within three years, amid explosive growth at
Disney after the launch of its rival on-demand service only 16 months ago.
The Walt Disney Company announced earlier this month that its flagship Disney+ platform, launched in late 2019, had passed 100 million global subscribers – a feat that took its arch-rival, Netflix, a decade to achieve. Taken together with subscriber numbers for the group’s ESPN+ sports platform and Hulu subscription service in the US, the surge puts Disney on track to dethrone
Netflix by 2024.
