HOME CINEMA SUPPLEMENT
MAGIC IN THE MAKING
With Habitech’s support, every integrator can own the cinema design space, says Sales Manager Timmi Thorsen. Here’s an upside to the downturn: the world is experiencing the biggest expansion of the internet and home entertainment in years. And it’s going to stick. Today, millions of bubble families are relying on digital delivery as a life preserver at work and play, generating double digit growth in SVoD and gaming entertainment. For example, 16% of the UK’s entire adult online population subscribed to Disney+ between its launch on March 24 and early July. Meanwhile, Netflix attracted 10 million subscribers in Q2, on top of 15.8 million in the preceding quarter. All this is accelerated by service stacking, which is now widespread, averaging three streaming services for every US household and two in the UK. Subscription fatigue is unlikely to reverse these dramatic home-centric shifts in media consumption when big streamers like Disney, Netflix, Comcast and Amazon are fighting tooth and nail to preserve them. Even as the bubbles pop, new habits will die hard. For your business this could be the big silver lining to the Covid cloud. New enthusiasm for home AV at every price point is driving demand to your door at a time when the IoT invasion is eroding
