Description
In the second quarter of 2023, the number of global Disney+
subscribers dropped for the second time since it launched in
November 2019 to 157.8 million. This marked a decline of four
million compared with the previous quarter as the Indian brand
Disney+ Hotstar, in particular, reported subscribers losses.

Core Disney+ keeps adding subscribers

The Walt Disney Company launched its highly anticipated streaming

service in November 2019. Less than two years later, Disney+
reached a significant milestone by amassing 100 million subscribers
worldwide – which is even more impressive considering that the
company had initially set a goal of 60 to 90 million users by 2024.
By comparison, it took SVOD market leader Netflix roughly a
decade to reach the 100-million-mark despite having navigated a
much less competitive market then. And while Disney+ Hotstar
reported a subscriber decline in the first half of 2023, the number of
international customers, excluding the Indian brand, kept growing.

Popular content on Disney Plus

What makes Disney+ so appealing to audiences is not just its

repertoire of animated classics but also the vast range of content
from Disney’s various subsidiaries. The House of Mouse has
acquired Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Pixar, and Marvel
Entertainment over the last few years, setting it up for success with
viewers of all ages. In 2021, for example, “The Mandalorian” and
“WandaVision,” available exclusively on Disney+, were among the
five most popular original streaming series in the United States and
the United Kingdom alike.
