Estimating Incremental Revenues From HBO Max
HBO's TV channel reaches about ~140 million global TV subscribers and the company offers the HBO Now service as an a la cart streaming option with exclusive HBO content. It's likely that HBO Now users will get access to HBO Max - which will have a larger library of content -at no extra charge.We estimate HBO Max's incremental revenue potential by looking solely at the new customers that the service could bring in. We estimate that HBO Max will see an adoption by 8% of U.S. households by 2020, with the number rising to 16% by 2024, translating into a paying subscriber base of 10 million by 2020 and 21 million by 2024. At an ARPU of $15 per month in 2020, rising to $17 by 2024, we estimate that HBO Max will generate revenues of about $2 billion in 2020, with the number rising to close to $4.3 billion by 2024.
