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.
The trend arises from an analysis by the consultancy firm Megavision. Since the turn of the year, 60,000 new households in Sweden have chosen to subscribe to HVOD.
Today, close to 70% of the Swedish households have at least one SVOD service, according to Mediavision’s latest report, which also notes that a subscribing household on average pay for 2.5 services.
