"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.
