Middle East and North Africa OTT TV and Video Market to Reach 28 Million SVOD Subscriptions by 2029 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Middle East and North Africa OTT TV and Video Forecasts 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The landscape of over-the-top (OTT) television and video streaming services continues to evolve across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), with a remarkable surge in subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) highlighted in the latest industry forecast. It projects that by the year 2029, 13 Arabic countries will see SVOD subscriptions swell to a substantial 28 million—a significant climb from the 15 million recorded in 2023.

Despite intense competition from local entities, Netflix is anticipated to maintain its market dominance in the region. However, Arabic services are expected to grow robustly, potentially shifting the competitive dynamic. It is predicted that key regional players, including StarzPlay, Shahid VIP, and OSN+, will bolster their market presence remarkably, accounting for a combined 46% of total Arabic SVOD subscriptions by the end of the forecast period, contributing to an additional 4.7 million subscriptions starting from 2023.

The proliferation of these services underscores not only the growing appetite for digital streaming across the region but also the role of localized content in driving subscription growth. Principal Analyst Simon Murray noted: “As some of the US-based platforms lower their global rollout and local content commitments, the Arabic players will thrive.” This statement encapsulates the projected trend where regional services are set to capitalize on the creation and distribution of locally resonant content.
