Kantar's "Worldpanel’s Q4 2024 Entertainment on Demand" data on the British streaming market reveals a significant shift towards ad-supported streaming options, with a surge in Prime subscriptions driven by seasonal shopping.
The new agreement will feature the ad-supported version of Max as part of the Sky bundle at no additional cost when it debuts in the UK and Ireland in early 2026.
In the recently concluded third quarter, there were 600,000 new streaming subscriptions compared to last year. The primary driver of this growth is the introduction of more affordable, ad-supported subscription options.
