The subscription industry is in a state of flux. Changing customer preferences, entry of traditional businesses, new benchmarks set by subscription business leaders and subscription billing dynamics have all led to a spurt of new challenges facing the fledgling industry.

They need to adapt, evolve and respond to challenges while striving for growth in a hyper-competitive environment.
