Abstract

This study examines Netflix’s global expansion and competitive strategies, emphasizing their importance in the rapidly evolving entertainment industry. Netflix’s transformation from a DVD rental service to a leading global streaming platform highlights the significance of localized content, technological innovation, and original content production. The analysis identifies three major challenges for Netflix: navigating diverse regulatory environments, sustaining long-term subscriber growth, and managing content saturation and quality. Proposed solutions include partnering with local streaming services, enhancing recommendation algorithms, and focusing on producing high-quality content. The research offers valuable insights into effective global market entry strategies, underscoring Netflix’s role in fostering cross-cultural exchange and contributing to a more interconnected global community. Although the study relies on secondary data, it underscores the need for future research incorporating primary data to deepen understanding of Netflix’s strategies and their long-term sustainability. By addressing these challenges, Netflix can continue to thrive in the competitive global market and maintain its position as a pioneer in the entertainment industry.
