SVOD Explosion and viewer psychology

June 5, 2025

In 2019 and beyond, a swathe of new SVODs will hit an already fragmented UK landscape.

We’ve seen the key players’ press releases, the insider forecasts, and the expert opinions – on what it means for the industry, what’ll happen, and who’ll win or lose.

But what hadn’t we seen?

How will viewers feel about more SVODs?

  • How do they perceive this space at the moment?
  • How will they decode, and approach, a changed marketplace?
  • What will underpin their decision-making on paid-for services?
  • What will their stacking strategy be, and why?
  • What will their ‘dealmaker’ content be – especially drama?


SVOD Explosion:
an insight study (based on qualitative and quantitative, and supported by Behavioural Economics) – exploring the mindset, attitudes and potential future behaviour of viewers on the threshold of a new world of paid-for content services.
