Throwback to a year ago; Wi-flix milestone reach
Last May, Wi-flix made headlines after announcing that it had exceeded one million paid memberships in just over a year since its launch. As a thank you to its loyal subscribers, the streaming platform gifted over 1,000 viewers with 48 hours of free access to all their favourite movies, series, children’s content, and live TV shows.
According to Technext, Wi-flix’s subscription milestone was likely achieved by the platform’s continuous expansion of its content library and distribution partnerships. The company’s growth percentage increased significantly in the first quarter of 2022, with a 51% increase in revenue and a 61% increase in subscriptions.
Wi-flix’s remarkable growth is a testament to the platform’s unwavering dedication to delivering high-quality entertainment to viewers throughout Africa and beyond. Despite facing challenges such as low connectivity and high data costs, the number of active streaming platforms in the region has grown significantly in recent years as the continent adapts to the global shift away from traditional networks.
Wi-flix has established itself as a major player in this rapidly evolving landscape. With its new vision plan, it’s uncertain what the future holds for the platform, but the prospects certainly look promising. Regardless, Wi-flix will continue pushing boundaries and setting new standards for streaming services across the continent.
