Multichoice Kenya Reports 15% Drop in Subscribers
The company reported a 15% drop in subscribers for the period ending 31st March 2025.
Multichoice has attributed GOTV’s 15% decline in Kenya to weakened demand among low-end consumers, increased competition from free-to-air alternatives in the mass market, and a challenging macroeconomic environment.
The company also cited a rise in internet connectivity, which has contributed to the growing problem of content piracy.
However, the entertainment platform has recorded several successes in Kenya. These include implementing price increases in April and November, amounting to an effective 12% rise, along with effective pricing and cost management strategies to address growth pressures.
Additionally, the average exchange rate improved by 12% year-on-year against the U.S. dollar, contributing to a notable 61% increase in profits over the same period.
Kenya accounts for 10% of its total subscription revenue across its operations outside South Africa.
