Netflix has had a good year.<\/p>\n

This chart, published Friday by the data site Statista, shows how much better it’s likely to get.<\/p>\n

\"55c4e79d1700006e00566ef1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0company’s stock closed at record highs\u00a0more than a dozen times, and its original shows have racked up 34 Emmy Award nominations\u00a0this year. Employees — though\u00a0only those who work in streaming and not the DVD division\u00a0— were granted “unlimited” parental leave\u00a0this week.<\/p>\n

But the best may be yet to come: By the end of this year, Netflix will launch in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Japan.<\/p>\n

The company announced\u00a0the European trio in June. Combined, the three countries have a population of 117.6 million. About 72 percent of Spaniards, 62 percent of Portuguese and 58 percent of Italians use the Internet, according to data\u00a0from the International Telecommunication Union, a U.N. agency.<\/p>\n

Japan, where the company on Tuesday announced it will go live Sept. 2, may be even more exciting. Netflix will face fierce competition there, particularly from its cash-rich local rival Softbank. The country\u00a0has the fourth-largest population online, with over 86 percent of its\u00a0127.3 million people using the Internet. And their appetite for streaming entertainment, particularly anime, has been\u00a0well documented\u00a0for years.<\/p>\n
