Impact of Netflix and market competition
Netflix launched in 1997 as a DVD rental service and launched its streaming version in Latin America in 2011. Since then, it has tripled its revenue, according to Statista, and reached more than 300 million global subscribers. Its success has forced other giants like Disney+ and HBO Max to launch their own platforms , albeit with less impact.
The movie rankings on Netflix in the United States reflect this leadership. What's successful there often resonates in other countries. Clear examples are Money Heist and Squid Game , which went from local hits to global phenomena .
Availability and consumption formats
Netflix can be watched on smart TVs, cell phones, consoles, tablets, and computers. Simultaneous access depends on the plan: some allow HD or UHD quality and multiple devices at once, while others are more limited. In Uruguay, these conditions also determine how consumption is organized in each home.
Furthermore, not everything that's in the US top 10 appears in the local catalog. However, the list serves as a preview of potential new releases or trends that will soon arrive in the Río de la Plata.
