In 2020, there were around 18 million Canadians using Netflix via app or website at least once per month, up from 16.2 million users the previous year. Between 2018 and 2019 the number of Netflix users in Canada increased by nearly three million, with 16.2 million Canadians using Netflix in 2019. The numbers are expected to steadily grow and it has been estimated that by 2025 there will be over 19 million Netflix users in Canada.
Netflix was introduced to Canadian audiences in 2010. By the end of 2011, the online video platform had 1.14 million paying subscribers, and four years later the number was to be roughly four times bigger. With such paying subscriber growth, Netflix revenue was also estimated to increase from 115 million Canadian dollars in 2011 to approximately 447 million in 2015. Geographically, Alberta was the province with the highest penetration of Netflix subscriptions - more than half of the population in the region were subscribing to the video service in 2015. On a national scale, the online video platform was believed to reach 47 percent of the Anglophone Canadian population and 19 percent of the Francophones in the country in early 2015.
