Netflix Q1 2017 International Picks Up The Slack

With Netflix on course to pass the psychologically significant            million subscriber mark, the company’s            2017  quarterly earnings   are particularly significant. With            of the global SVOD market and a presence in            differing territories the only major piece missing from the picture is Netflix’s failure to launch in China, the largest and fastest growing market for digital services. While Netflix may be dwarfed by its Chinese competitors for user engagement (eg            million MAUs for Baidu’s iQYi) its paid subscription service is now twice the size of any of its competitors with            million of its            million members now paying as opposed to only            million paid subscribers for iQYi.
