CLIQ Digital sells subscription-based streaming services that bundle movies and series, music, audiobooks, sports and games to consumers globally. In FY22, 37% of sales were generated in Europe, 57% in North America and 6% in other regions.

Demand for mobile entertainment has grown rapidly over the last decade, boosted by increased smartphone penetration, now at 84% of global mobile users (Statista). While boundaries between types of content are becoming increasingly blurred, mobile gaming is the largest segment. The larger content subscription services have been struggling to maintain momentum in their subscriber base and have been pushing up subscription prices and limiting password sharing to protect revenues.
