Whilst the long term effects of the coronavirus on the media industry will take time to manifest themselves, it is already clear that SVoD consumption saw a massive increase as consumers self-isolated at home, with some platforms seeing audience growth of over 40 percent in March 2020 compared to the previous month. One service which saw this level of growth is VOD newcomer, Disney Plus, which saw its audience increase by 43.75 percent, an enormous change compared to the months of January and February. Market leader Netflix also saw a positive change with viewing up by 39.07 percent. However, it was HBO which saw the biggest increase - its audience in March was up 55.62 percent from the previous month. HBO viewers increased their movie viewing by 70 percent, and daily binge watching was also up from the last four weeks.
