Asia-Pacific Pay-TV Industry Faces Slowing Growth


Hong Kong, July 19, 2016--The Asia-Pacific pay-TV industry will grow at a 5.8% average annual rate from 2016 to 2021, according to a new report, Asia Pacific Pay-TV & Broadband Markets, published by leading industry analysts Media Partners Asia (MPA). The pace of pay-TV subscriber and revenue growth is slowing, weakened by an economic slowdown and increasing competition from both legal and illegal alternatives.

At the same time, India and Korea remain two of the region’s largest and most scalable pay-TV opportunities. Revenue growth will also accelerate in Australia and the Philippines, largely thanks to subscriber growth. Across the region, more pay-TV operators are rolling out connected set-top boxes that can incorporate OTT video services. In addition, some operators are aggressively hard-bundling video content, including pay-TV channels, with high-speed broadband. This is helping drive subscriber growth in a number of key markets.
