The market

 

The main activity of Netflix is the exploitation and distribution of movies and series. It is a relatively young sector as it only really appeared in 2000 with the development of broadband internet. It is a market where demand is very strong, with intense competition. Communication and updating of offers and programs are essential to attract and retain customers.

Due to the global health crisis, the lifestyle of the world's population has changed dramatically. Staying at home has been a boon to this market, creating a huge demand. Moreover, these new customers have become regular due to this habit change. This market looks interesting post-COVID, and analysts see it growing in the coming years.
