Disney+ crosses 54.5 Million Subscribers in just Six Months

Back in November 2019, Disney launched its streaming platform Disney+. At the end of December, the subscriber count crossed 16.5 million and in till 8th April, the graph goes up to hit 50 million. Now at present, the worldwide subscribers of Disney+ are 54.5 million and counting. The company releases this information a few days back.

In the beginning, Disney estimated they will get 60 to 90 million subscribers by the end of 2024. But in just around 6 months, they achieved more than 50% of their goal. This customer growth rate makes Disney+ the world’s one of the fastest-growing streaming platforms. If it can hold the rate, the mission for 90 million subscriptions will be fulfilled within this year, for sure.

Disnely-Plus-Logo_TechnoSports.co.in

There are mainly two reasons for the growth. The first one is obviously Content. They have plenty of rich content like Star Wars and Marvel shows, The Mandalorian, and more. The second reason is the pandemic condition. As the maximum of us are at home and strictly restricted to stay in, we are looking for entertainment content. No need to say if we get our Disney contents as an available option, we can’t ignore it.

Despite this achievement, Disney has to lose around $1 billion as its world-famous parks and resorts are closed due to coronavirus pandemic.

NAND consumption remained high as SSD shipments continued to surge in both units and average capacities throughout the year.

Favorable pricing for a good portion of 2019 helped drive demand in the client space, enabling increased SSD-attach rates from the OEMs,” said Don Jeanette, vice president, TRENDFOCUS. “Moving forward through the rest of 2020, SSD-attach rates in PCs will remain strong, with continued strong demand for SATA SSD in various data center deployments, as well as continued increases with Hyperscale buildouts for PCIe.”

“The 2019 research findings from both analyst firms validate Kingston’s growing presence and position in the SSD market,” said Ariel Perez, SSD business manager, Kingston. “We continue to solidify our presence in the client space with strong SATA offerings as well as distinct NVMe solutions optimized for notebooks and desktops.
