Netflix: It looks like Netflix is planning to launch an ad supported plan for the Indian market in the future. The company can soon start ad supported plans in India. Somewhere the company is feeling that by launching an ad supported plan at a low cost, the revenue of the company will increase. Actually, the price of Netflix’s ad supported plan will be less than other plans, but in this, users will get to see ads in the middle of the series or movie, which can also spoil the viewing experience.
Is the launch of ad supported plan confirmed?
See, the company has not clearly mentioned that it is bringing ad supported plans in India. However, the company has indicated in a letter sent to shareholders that we can do such subscription planning in the Indian market as the low price strategy can attract more customers to Netflix. The company sees the potential of adding lakhs of customers every year from India.
Why is India a key market for Netflix?
In a letter sent to shareholders, Netflix has claimed that when Netflix slashed subscription plans by up to 60 percent in India in 2021, the company saw an annual growth of 30 percent. With this strategy, the company’s revenue was to grow from 19 percent to 24 percent in 2022. Hence, the company says that it had implemented the same strategy in 116 other countries to get a better response in terms of revenue and user base.
In how many countries is the ad supported plan available?
Netflix has started Ad Supported Plan in many countries. As of now, ad supported plans are available in 12 countries. The list includes Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. The company says that it has seen good response for its ad supported plan so far. It is likely that we may soon see ad-supported plans in India as well.
