The streaming market continued its evolution in the first quarter of 2022. Entertainment on Demand, our solution measuring streaming service, reveals the following subscriber behaviors in the U.S. for the first quarter of 2022:
Stacking has levelled off in the first quarter, seeing no growth in the average number of streaming services accessed per household. Across total streaming the average number remains 4.7 services, unchanged vs the fourth quarter. Within paid streaming, consumers are accessing 3.7 services per household, also unchanged vs the fourth quarter.As indicated by the stable penetration of streaming, the leveling off of stacking also indicates the US is not cutting streaming as seen in other countries (i.e., the UK, driven by the economy). It still has an important role in US households. Drivers of cancellation in the first quarter provide further insight. Cancellation of a streaming platform in order to save money remains the single largest driver, but this is unchanged versus the fourth quarter. While the rising costs of goods across the globe are leading to cost cutting, streaming is more of an inelastic expense in the U.S. The U.S. may have reached a point of content saturation instead. With so much choice, consumers are finding it harder to find content they want to watch.
Netflix's move seems inevitable as the streaming landscape shifts into its next phase. The company's earnings report of disappointing numbers demonstrates that new viewing strategies are inevitable. Ones driven by SVoD that are less-costly, bundled and offset by ad-supported plans may be the viable pivot to make. Despite the challenges of rolling out an ad-supported tier, the move could be a key component of Netflix getting back on track.
Saving money is still the number one reason for cancellation, but it has not significantly driven a greater proportion of cancellations this quarter for the total market. Instead, it is content that is more likely to drive cancellation compared to the fourth quarter: either wanting to watch a specific series/film and then cancelling or it being hard to find content to watch. Netflix is unique in that its price increase of $1.50 had a significant impact on cancellations this quarter. As streamers evaluate the available content and value they receive from their streaming repertoire, Netflix is seeing losses.
Netflix is an example of how a mature platform can see increased churn. Other platforms can learn from Netflix and focus on their strategies to prevent churn by driving viewer engagement, while simultaneously strategizing to win streamers expected to churn from competitors. The trends seen with Netflix are a sign of larger shifts in the market, and a turning point from continued stacking and increased spend.
