Disney Plus monthly ARPU 2024

In the fourth quarter of 2024, Disney+ Core, excluding India's Disney+ Hotstar, reportedly generated an average monthly revenue of 7.18 U.S. dollars per paying subscriber worldwide, marking an increase from the previous quarter of the same year. This drop is significant, given Disney's recent struggles to reach positive profits with its streaming division.

Financial challenges for Disney’s streaming division

In contrast to Disney’s direct-to-consumer business reporting losses, competitors like Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery's DTC segment have managed to achieve operating profits. Furthermore, Disney+ has faced the challenge of retaining customers recently, and particularly the Indian brand Disney+ Hotstar experienced a decline in subscribers in the company's first two fiscal quarters of 2023.

Disney’s diverse content catalog

Despite this, Disney+ has emerged as a formidable contender in the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) landscape, fueled by its vast range of content from Disney’s various subsidiaries, including Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Pixar, and Marvel Entertainment, making it appealing to audiences of all ages. The availability of popular original series like "Moon Knight" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi" exclusively available on Disney+ has further solidified its position as a leading player in the streaming arena.
