Having a unique edge in the entertainment industry since 1997, first as a DVD rental company, Netflix continues to successfully grow among internet users as it establishes new trends in “binge-watching” culture. The world’s leading internet entertainment service has become popular in the past few years in the Middle East and has been open in the Egyptian market for over two years now. To expand its viewership, Netflix plans to tailor special shows for Egyptians in 2018.

With over 100 million members across 190 countries, Netflix marks its 20th anniversary as the team explains how the company grew into a massively popular entertainment service provider.

Netflix had been previously accessible only in the U.S. as a licensed service provider 10 years ago and prevailed in its first expansion plan seven years ago. The hit series “House of Cards” was among the “Netflix Originals” that launched three years ago as part of the content made specifically for Netflix. Simultaneously, the company decided to establish a global launch and enter new markets like Egypt.
