Growth of streaming services and decline in traditional television viewership
The market is undergoing a significant shift as streaming platforms gain popularity, leading to a decline in traditional television viewership. Services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ are expanding rapidly thanks to affordable subscription plans and localized content. Younger audiences, in particular, prefer on-demand streaming to scheduled programming, prompting networks to adapt by launching their own digital platforms, such as Televisa's Blim and TV Azteca's A+. Furthermore, increased mobile internet access has fueled this trend, with more consumers watching content on smartphones and tablets. 94% of internet users in Mexico connect to the web via smart devices at home. In 2023, 81.2% of the population used the internet, a 9.7 percentage point increase since 2020, indicating progress in digital inclusion. This data highlights significant opportunities for television broadcasters as digital engagement grows in both rural and urban areas. While broadcast television remains relevant among older demographics, advertisers are increasingly shifting budgets toward digital platforms to reach tech-savvy viewers. This transition is reshaping the media landscape in Mexico, pushing traditional networks to innovate through hybrid models that combine linear television with streaming options to retain audiences and remain competitive.
Increased demand for original and localized content
The growing demand for localized and original content, driven by both streaming services and traditional networks, is fueling the growth of the television market in Mexico. International platforms like Netflix and HBO Max are investing heavily in Mexican productions, including dramas, comedies, and documentaries, to cater to regional tastes. Shows like The House of Flowers (Netflix) and Luis Miguel: The Series (Telemundo/Netflix) have demonstrated the global appeal of Mexican storytelling. On February 21, 2025 , Netflix announced a $1 billion investment to produce approximately 20 original films and television shows annually in Mexico over the next four years, further strengthening its regional content strategy. CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed new collaborations, job creation, and cooperation with Estudios Churubusco to develop talent and promote the local television sector. This significant investment reflects Mexico's status as a production hub, leveraging its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage for international streaming audiences. Meanwhile, national networks are focusing on culturally relevant telenovelas and reality shows to maintain viewer loyalty. This trend underscores the importance of culturally resonant narratives in attracting audiences, as viewers increasingly seek relatable content. As competition intensifies, content creators are prioritizing high-quality productions featuring local talent, further solidifying Mexico's position as a key region in the global entertainment industry.
