Barb, the audience measurement and television ratings organisation, has released data from its Establishment Survey showing that 20.6 million UK homes (69.7%) had access to a SVoD service in Q2 2025. This is an increase from 20.1 million UK homes in Q1 2025.The service-level subscriptions data are as follows:

- Prime Video: 13.7 million UK homes (46.6%) had access to Prime Video in Q2 2025, up slightly from 13.4 million in Q1. Due to a different approach to moving homes to its ad tier, in Q2 2025, 87 % of Prime Video homes were on its ad tier, on a par with the previous quarter: 12 million UK homes (40.8%), up slightly from 11.7 million.

- Paramount+: 3.3 million UK homes (11%) had access to Paramount+ in Q2 2025, up slightly from 3.1 million in Q1.
- Discovery+: 3 million UK homes (10.3%) had access to Discovery+ in Q2 2025, down slightly from 3.1 million in Q1.
- Apple TV+: 2.7 million UK homes (9.3%) had access to Apple TV+ in Q2 2025, level with Q1.
- NOW: 1.9 million UK homes (6.3%) had access to NOW in Q1, up slightly from 1.8 million in Q1.
Doug Whelpdale, Head of Insight at Barb, commented: “With almost all services showing quarterly growth, close to half a million more homes now have an SVoD service than in Q1. Strong quarterly growth from the Netflix and Disney+ ad tiers, alongside smaller overall growth, may suggest that existing users are moving from ad-free to ad-supported subscriptions, particularly as our data suggest limited churn between Q1 and Q2.”
