Roku celebrates ten years in Mexico with results that confirm its leadership. Since its arrival in 2015, the company has transformed the way people watch TV with an offering of more than 15 brands of integrated televisions and an ecosystem that includes over 5,000 channels.

Today, Roku is the number-one operating system for smart TVs in Mexico, combining simplicity, content discovery, and added value for the user.

Alejandro Sobrino, Senior Product Manager of Roku Mexico and Latam, highlighted: “We arrived in 2015 with the player format, and in 2019 we began launching TVs with the Roku operating system. Today we are proud to have consolidated the best streaming experience in the country.”

EXPANSION OF THE FAST MODEL

Ad-supported free content (FAST) is driving Roku’s growth. The Roku Channel is already among the five most-used platforms by users. The company operates over 85 FAST channels and 60,000 licensed titles, offering accessible and sustainable entertainment.

“There is a large sector of the population that depends on free content, and Roku has a privileged place there,” Sobrino explained.

INNOVATION AND PERSONALIZATION

In 2025, Roku launched its new generation Streaming Stick, with improved energy efficiency and 4K compatibility. This same year, the platform also introduced the Sports Zone, which centralizes schedules and broadcasts of the top leagues.

“Users can go directly to the sports zone, find the game, and see which platforms are broadcasting it—even for free,” Sobrino explained.

The brand’s strategy focuses on personalization: “We want people to spend less time searching for content and more time enjoying it. Television on Roku is a curated experience for each user.”

COMMITMENT TO THE MEXICAN MARKET

Roku attributes its success to local knowledge and its network of strategic partnerships: “At the beginning, it was about convincing platforms and producers. Today we have a specialized team that understands the needs of the Mexican consumer and adapts the product to their reality,” Sobrino said.

Looking ahead, Roku will focus its investments on three areas: simplifying access to content, integrating more sports, and strengthening technological development focused on the Mexican user.

“We will continue investing in understanding local audience consumption patterns to offer a more intuitive and complete digital television experience.”
