Netflix's Growth in the Ad-Supported Market

Netflix has reached a milestone of 40 million ad-supported subscribers, which represents approximately 15% of its total user base. This figure underscores the platform's significant acceptance of the ad tier among its audience, as 40% of new signups in regions where the ad-supported tier is available choose this option. In comparison to Amazon Prime Video, which boasts over 90% of its subscribers on the ad-supported model due to an opt-out approach, Netflix's growth is noteworthy yet highlights the differing strategies of these two streaming giants. Additionally, Netflix plans to develop its in-house ad tech platform by late 2025, moving away from its current reliance on Microsoft for ad technology.
