Netflix has announced a price increase for all subscription tiers in Australia, effective immediately for new customers and during the next billing cycle for existing subscribers. The Standard plan without ads will rise to $20.99 per month, while the Premium plan will increase to $28.99 per month. These changes place Netflix's Standard and Premium tiers above most competitors.The price hike marks the second increase in just over a year, following a 10% price rise in early 2024. The Standard with Ads plan now costs $9.99 per month, up from $7.99, while the Standard plan has risen to $20.99 from $18.99. The Premium plan has increased to $28.99 from $25.99 [1].
The price increase comes on the heels of Netflix's strong financial performance. The company reported a 45% year-over-year profit increase to $3.1 billion for the second quarter, with revenue rising 16% to $11.1 billion. Netflix attributed the gains to higher subscription prices and a growing advertising business [2].
Netflix's latest price hike is part of a broader strategy to increase revenue and profitability. The company expects ad revenue to nearly double in 2025 and is targeting $9 billion annually from ad-based subscriptions by 2030. Netflix has also been investing heavily in international programming, with Korean content continuing to dominate globally.
