Mapped: The Most Popular Video Streaming Service by Country
In recent years, video streaming has become an integral part of global entertainment. From Netflix and Amazon Prime to HBO Max and Apple TV, consumers today have many choices when it comes to streaming services.
While some prefer services with their favorite shows and movies, others opt for the most affordable or content-packed options. Often, users band together friends and family and subscribe to multiple streaming services, though some services like Netflix have started to clamp down on the practice.
This graphic by theWORLDMAPS uses data from FlixPatrol to highlight the streaming services with the most subscriptions by country in February 2023.
Most Subscribed Streaming Services in 2023
With the highest number of subscribers in 78 countries and over 220 million customers globally, Netflix was the most popular video streaming service in the most countries.
| Streaming Service | Top in Number of Countries |
|---|---|
| Netflix | 78 |
| Canal Plus | 17 |
| Shahid | 16 |
| Showmax | 15 |
| Amazon Prime | 5 |
| KinoPoisk | 5 |
| iFlix | 4 |
| GO3 | 3 |
| ivi TV | 3 |
| Tencent Video | 2 |
| Globoplay | 1 |
| BluTV | 1 |
| Disney+ | 1 |
| Viu | 1 |
| WatchIT | 1 |
In many countries including the UK, Brazil, Germany, France, and Mexico, Netflix had the most subscribers of any service. That’s more than delivery subscription and streaming service Amazon Prime and its 200 million global subscribers.
Because of its large userbase, however, Prime can claim more subscribers than Netflix in five countries: Afghanistan, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and the U.S..
Other streaming services found success catering to specific regions. The French premium television channel Canal Plus had the highest subscriber count in 17 francophone countries across Central and West Africa. Likewise, the Arabic free video streaming service Shahid topped the list of 16 countries including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Yemen.
And despite having over 160 million global subscribers, Disney+ only made it to the top of India‘s subscriber base. Likewise, Tencent Video was the most-subscribed platform in China with 124 million customers.
Honorable Mentions and Turning Tides
Only 11 video streaming channels made it to the top of the 134 countries tracked by this data.
And while many others did not make the cut, they continue to attract millions of subscribers worldwide.
They include the Chinese platform iQIYI with 106 million subscribers, as well as four American streaming services: HBO Max (79.9M), Hulu (48M), Paramount+ (46M), and Apple TV (40M).
But with both Netflix and Disney+ wrestling with slowing (and declining) subscriber growth, how will the map evolve over the next few years?

Nvidia has been the center of attention of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, and its earnings are seen as a key indicator of the health of the AI industry, according to financial experts.
As the second-most valuable company in the world, the chipmaker dominates the AI chip design and software market with a market share of 80% to 95%, according to Reuters.
This chart shows the rise of Nvidia’s quarterly earnings from Q1 2021 to Q2 2025, with figures from Nvidia’s quarterly financial reports updated as of August 28, 2024.
Nvidia Beats Second-Quarter Estimates
Nvidia reported $30 billion in second quarter revenue for fiscal year 2025, beating Wall Street estimates of $28.7 billion by about 4.5%.
This beat on earnings estimates came as Wall Street analysts have begun to question if the current hype around AI is a bubble on the verge of bursting, and if generative AI will actually be worth the significant capital invested in it so far.
Below are Nvidia’s quarterly revenue figures from their fiscal year 2021 to 2025.
For reference, Nvidia’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of January, with their fiscal year labeled according to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends. This means that since their current fiscal year ends in January 2025, the quarter they just reported is labeled Q2 2025.
| Quarter | Nvidia's revenue |
|---|---|
| Q2 2025 Estimate | $28.7B |
| Q2 2025 | $30.0B |
| Q1 2025 | $26.0B |
| Q4 2024 | $22.1B |
| Q3 2024 | $18.1B |
| Q2 2024 | $13.5B |
| Q1 2024 | $7.2B |
| Q4 2023 | $6.1B |
| Q3 2023 | $5.9B |
| Q2 2023 | $6.7B |
| Q1 2023 | $8.3B |
| Q4 2022 | $7.6B |

| Q2 2022 | $6.5B |
| Q1 2022 | $5.7B |
| Q4 2021 | $5.0B |
| Q3 2021 | $4.7B |
| Q2 2021 | $3.9B |
| Q1 2021 | $3.1B |
Nvidia’s Q2 2025 revenue figure of $30 billion is a 15% increase from last quarter and a 122% increase year-over-year. While these figures are impressive, their quarterly revenue growth is starting to show signs of slowing momentum, as the previous three quarters had quarterly growth of 18% (Q1 2025), 22% (Q4 2024), and 34% (Q3 2024).
Nvidia’s main source of revenue comes from its data center business, which includes its AI processors. Its data center generated a record $26.3 billion this quarter, accounting for 88% of the AI giant’s total revenue.
The company said it is currently shipping out samples of its newest next-generation Blackwell GPU architecture to customers.
Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said the company expects to ship “several billion dollars” of Blackwell revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Nvidia expects to generate $32.5 billion in revenue next quarter, plus or minus 2%.
