If you remember back to when Netflix originally launched, it was strictly a movie renting business.
Clients placed movie orders on the Netflix online platform, and DVDs were delivered to their homes via
the postal service. Once they were finally done with them, they merely mailed individuals who rented it to
return the Netflix in the envelopes that were given for that purpose. At sometimes, this was viewed as a
blessing for individuals who won't have access to a video rental business in their immediate vicinity.
This has greater than 151 million incurred purchasers in much more than 190 countries throughout the
world, and it provides movie streaming services. It provides a diverse selection of television shows,
documentaries, and animated films in a variety of service, as well as unique
creations.

It all started when Amazon, Apple, Disney, and Google announced that they would establish their own digital
download and streaming platforms. This created a problem to Netflix, which is extremely popular but undeniably
more expensive than other streaming providers. Netflix's subscriber growth has slowed down as a result, and the
company's stock market valuation has dropped 15% in the last month after its growth numbers disappointed
investors.

II. STATEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVE

Netflix's net income will be affected by their increased business
strategy, expanded market reach, and tightened marketing
expenses. How have these elements contributed to their
profitability up to this point?

III. AREAS OF
CONSIDERATION
P.E.S.T.L.E. ANALYSIS
21:32 40:00
POLITICAL FACTORS
• Netflix's accessibility has always had its drawbacks. Take, for
example, Korea, Syria, and Crimea. Netflix is a US-based firm,
which is why it does as its government directs. Because the US
government forbids any American corporation from providing
services to these countries, even if Netflix wanted to, it would be
difficult due to political concerns. This just demonstrates that
corporations like Netflix are heavily influenced by international
issues, which limits the spread of their services.
21:32 40:00
POLITICAL FACTORS
• Even if Netflix is permitted to operate in a country, it must adhere to the
censorship standards imposed by that country's government. Netflix, for
example, is not available in China, not only due to restrictions imposed by the
US government, but also due to the country's censorship. Netflix's content must
be severely restricted if it is to appeal to Chinese audiences. Many series or
movies will be banned, and sequences may be blacked out or filtered to comply
with Chinese regulations, which Netflix just cannot afford. Even in our own
country, the government is attempting to restrict Netflix's content. Even though
Netflix is a video streaming service, the MTRCB clearly said that it must abide
by its laws. The Philippine government is currently considering it, but since other
nations can restrict and censor Netflix material, it is not hard for the Philippine
government to do so as well.
24:22 40:00
ECONOMIC FACTORS
• The global economy has performed admirably for several years, resulting
in increased spending on leisure services such as Netflix by people all around the
world. Netflix, on the other hand, has seen an increase trend since the spread of
the coronavirus, which brought economies down. This is most likely due to
people sitting at home and having nothing to do, so they look for ways to
entertain themselves, which is exactly what Netflix delivers. Even still, if the
pandemic continues, people will want to conserve more money, which could
lead to a decline in Netflix subscriptions
28:02 40:00
SOCIAL FACTORS
• Since modern technology has paved its way to this generation, millennials
and Gen-z loved netflix. It has been the main platform on enjoying and watching
films, movies or series.
• Netflix is alknown for its generousity on giving scholarships and donating
to charities. Their CEO namely, Reed Hastings, has been donating to charity
funds and foundations.
28:58 40:00
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
• Digital movie rentals was taken over by physical movie rentals.
LEGAL FACTORS
• Consumer Rights, Product Safety, Federal Copyright Act.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
• Rise of virtual streaming overtakes the hard copies resulting in much less discs in
wastes.

IV. ASSUMPTION
Even though the majority of Netflix's latest rise began in mid-
March, when several individuals were obliged to stay at home to help
limit the spread of the new coronavirus, a series of successful original
episodes and films helped Netflix expand its member base in the first
quarter. Netflix attracted 15.8 million customers, upwards of twice the
current 7.2 million predicted – a year-over-year increase with more than
22%. Netflix now boasts a global number of subscribers of 182 million.
Additionally, the company reported quarterly revenue of $5.77 billion,
compared to the projected $5.76 billion.
