In this report, we provide insights into the Belgian video market, distinguishing between the three regions of Belgium: Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. Beyond language differences, the markets also vary in terms of subscription rates for the SVOD services and viewing behaviour. These differences prompted us to set up a comprehensive study for each region. The following SVOD services are included in this report: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Be tv, Disney+, Netflix, HBO, Streamz and YOuTube Premium.
The report focuses on the video consumption behaviour of Belgian consumers. It examines which SVOD services are used, how (and if) people pay for them, and explores intentions to cancel or add subscriptions. The report also analyses viewing habits, including which content is watched, how much and how long people watch, and the types of devices used. Given the significant competition between SVOD services and traditional TV subscriptions, we have included extensive information on TV subscription rates, as well as insights into providers, viewing times, and related behaviours.
We have chosen to differentiate our analysis based on market, region, household type, and age, depending on the specific questions addressed. For some charts, we also examine differences by gender and household income. Regarding SVOD penetration rates and the types of subscriptions people have, we present these figures separately for each of the three regions as well as for Belgium as a whole, using stratification by region.
