Filimo (Persian: فیلیمو) is an Iranian video-on-demand (VOD) streaming service launched in January 2015. It is owned and operated by Sabaidea, a technology company based in Tehran, Iran. Filimo offers a wide variety of films, television series, documentaries, and other video content internationally. The platform is widely used within Iran and holds a market share of over 50% in the Iranian streaming industry. It has more than 400,000 monthly subscribers, with users watching over 450 million minutes of video content per month.
History
Filimo began its service in February 2015 under the name "Filimo Aparat," as part of the broader development of the Aparat video-sharing platform. After a short period, the service was rebranded to Filimo. The first version of the Filimo app was released in June 2015 for Android users. By March 2015, Filimo had reached a significant milestone with over one million video views.
In 2016, Filimo achieved significant growth, surpassing 1 billion minutes of video content viewed and experiencing a 445% increase in content consumption. Additionally, the platform saw a 581% rise in its user base that year. In 2016, Filimo introduced an exclusive version of its app for Android TV, further enhancing its accessibility. By August 2017, Filimo began offering 24/7 customer service to address user inquiries and technical issues. In August 2019, Filimo launched a hardware product called "Filimo Box," allowing users to stream Filimo content on their televisions with 4K resolution.
