Over $10 Billion Spent on TV, Film & Online Video Content by Leading Asian Markets


The MPA (Media Partners Asia) Video Content Dynamics Report (2018), shows that: “content spend across the key markets in the region, rose 8% annually to reach to $10.2 billion in 2017, with online video providing a huge spur” [1].


In 2017, spending on video content over the seven markets listed in the chart above, indicates that the major aggregated incremental growth donors were: online video at 30%; and pay TV at 38%. Further, Korea and India came up as the regions boasting the biggest increases. The research also indicated that in 2017: “growth in production spend across emerging Southeast Asia markets was generally satisfactory...” [1].

High Drama

The study showed that all across the board, drama has been driving audience share, and that a level of cross-pollination within the markets was apparent. Dramas produced by the Koreans were shown all over the region, and those produced in India have proved particularly popular in Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand.

Football Rules

Football matches were shown to make up a whopping 14 of Indonesia's most popular 25 programs – popularity which is supported by OONA Indonesia, the cutting-edge Free and premium option Mobile TV platform, which together with telkom giant, Telkom Indonesia, is set to serve 185 million Indonesians with up to 300 top national and international channels. These offer live and on-demand global sports action, including lots of football and other sports from channels such as beIN SPORTS, as well as the 24/7 global combat sports action channel: COMBAT GO, which is dedicated to martial arts.


And even in Vietnam and other markets in the study, where the audience share for sport only registered in at a minimal 2% audience share, the MPA report showed that soccer games accounted for 4 of the most watched 15 programs.

Commenting on the region's 6% rise in free-to-air content investment within the last year, Stephen Laslocky, the VP of Media Partners Asia, noted that the: "scale and growth is largely attributable to Korea, the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia, [and is] driven by local entertainment” [1].

Online Video Investment

While putting the magnifying glass on the swift increase in online investment – something that shot up to close to 80%, Laslocky remarked: “we expect online video content investment to also pick up in emerging markets across Southeast Asia, led by Indonesia and the Philippines” [1].
