Netflix, one of the most popular VOD services across the world, hosting thousands of TV shows and movies along with its own original series will be expanding into the Middle East by the end of 2016.
Joris Evers, vice president and head of communications for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Netflix revealed that Middle East formed part of Netflix’s global expansion project.
“We plan to complete our global expansion by the end of 2016. Of course the Middle East is part of that, hence our hiring,” he declared.
Iciflix and Starz Play VOD services are already available in the UAE and the arrival of Netflix will further boost the sector. Netflix is the world’s largest provider of streamed video-on-demand content with customers in 41 countries throughout North America, Latin America and Western Europe. As of October 2015, Netflix reported about 69.17 million subscribers worldwide, including more than 43 million in the United States. The company was established in 1997 and is headquartered in Los Gatos, California and started its subscription-based service in 1999.
