Netflix Leads the Pack

Netflix retains its position as the largest OTT platform in the world with 302 million subscribers. Despite rising competition, the platform’s diverse content library and global presence continue to give it a solid edge.

JioHotstar Surges to Second Place

In a dramatic rise powered by India’s booming digital user base, JioHotstar reaches 300 million subscribers, just slightly behind Netflix. Affordable pricing and regional content appear to be the key drivers of this massive growth.

Amazon Prime Holds Strong

Disney+ and HBO Max Battle for Mid-Tier Dominance

Disney+, at 132 million, and HBO Max, at 128 million, continue to compete closely. While both platforms have faced challenges in user retention, strong franchise-driven content keeps them in the race.

Asian Platforms Rise Significantly
