Netflix has a strong grip on the streaming market in US, Canada, UK, Australia, Europe and most of the Central, South and East Asia. Whereas Amazon Prime, which launched after Netflix became a phenomenon, caters to all the above mentioned markets but has a larger market share in some regions and lags behind Netflix in others. Low subscription fee makes Amazon Prime a first choice in developing countries. Netflix holds its own despite higher subscription charges in developed countries where people have higher purchasing power.

Must Check:

In many countries, the idea of streaming shows and movies online is relatively new. Like in the Middle East, India, China, and East Asia people are still adapting to the new wave of online streaming on smartphones and tablets. However, the problem in some underdeveloped countries is that they don’t have high-standard telecommunication infrastructure with wide coverage that could support fast internet speed consistently over a long period of time. This leads to buffering when you try to watch something on Netflix or Amazon Prime. So if you live in the region where internet speed fluctuates rapidly making streaming impossible at times, you should definitely consider downloading the content and watch it offline.
