"Streaming video subscriptions and revenue stumbled in the UK in 2023 but will return to growth in 2024, driven by advertising-tier take-up."
In the UK’s pay-TV market, the four largest telecoms providers (Sky, Virgin Media O2 (VMO2), BT (EE) and TalkTalk) have fared better than their European peers in terms of defending pay-TV subscriptions against third-party streaming providers. However, attention is focused on the streaming market: the decline in RGUs in 2023 is expected to be temporary, with total streaming video RGUs projected to grow from 48.3 million in 2023 to 60.7 million in 2028.
This report provides detailed 5-year forecasts for the adoption of pay-TV and streaming video services in the UK. It includes data on key metrics, describes key market developments and analyses operators’ strategies.
