Disney + shows with its first quarterly figures from 2022: The streaming boom is by no means over. While the industry feared a general sagging growth curve after Corona, the Disney streaming service recorded around 7.9 million new contracts in the first quarter – and now stands at a total of 137.7 million subscriptions.

Including other offers like Hulu, Disney has more than 200 million streaming customers, but this is nowhere near as good as Netflix with its more than 220 million subscribers. But according to the US industry medium Variety
Next growth spurt guaranteed for Disney+
The fact that Disney + will also grow properly in the current quarter is not a vague prophecy – it is hardly conceivable otherwise. After all, the streaming service is expanding to a whopping 42 more countries this spring.
In Eastern Europe, North Africa and the entire Arab region, there will definitely be new contracts in the millions. After all, Disney content is popular worldwide and the Disney+ streaming service will probably also open up its new markets with competitive prices at launch.
What makes Disney+ more attractive than Netflix?
A big advantage over Netflix is that the Disney Group’s existing video library has enormously popular brands: If you’re into big franchises like “Star Wars” or the Marvel Universe, there’s no way around Disney+.
In addition, Disney is constantly producing new originals for its streaming service, which, like “Moon Knight” or “The Mandalorian”, are set in the well-known worlds of Marvel and “Star Wars” and attract a large audience. The whole thing is then standard in UHD in a subscription that is available for less than 10 dollars per month.
Netflix, on the other hand, recently lost its last Marvel content, is now charging twice as much for UHD as Disney+ and is now having to make cuts in various other places.
