The South African SVOD market has more than quadrupled between 2017 and 2021 and represents the largest audience in Sub-Saharan Africa. Largely dominated by Netflix, Showmax (MultiChoice) and Video Play (the online video platform of Vodacom) which represent together more than 90% of the total subscriber base, there is only a little room left for the development of an alternative offer, as shown by the closure of the ambitious Kwes� Iflix last year. The other competitors in the market are iROKOtv, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Crunchyroll, Trace Play, PrideTV, JustFlicks, Mubi, Viu and Hopster. However, the closure of Video Play in 2022 represents an opportunity for new players: Disney+, which has entered the market in 2022, and Paramount+ and SABC, which plan to be launched in 2023. The market will be boosted by the continuous improvement of connectivity, the development of payment methods and the introduction of new SVOD offers in the country.
