Big in Japan
This is a single insight from This Week in Apps #92 - Just Super. Check out the full article for more insights.

Since turning on in-app payments in 2017, net revenue has seen steady growth quarter after quarter. DAZN ended 2020 with $69 million in net revenue, and we project 2021 to earn the sport-streamer nearly $100,000,000.
But wait, what's DAZN? A sports streaming app where you can catch boxing matches. Other sports too, but from what I've seen, mainly boxing matches. It launched in Australia and Japan back in 2016 and slowly made its way west, with the US getting access in 2018.
Japan is still one of DAZN's biggest countries by revenue.
