Singapore, December 5, 2022--A new report published today by Media Partners Asia (MPA) indicates that ex-China, Asia Pacific pay-TV subscriber growth will be relatively flat in 2022 with an estimated 106,000 subscribers cutting the cord. Cord cutting peaked between 2019 and 2021 with an aggregate 9.1 mil. subs cancelling subscriptions, according to MPA analysis, driven by erosion in key markets such as Australia, Malaysia and Thailand as well as the contraction of the cable universe in India. Going forward, MPA estimates 1.0 mil. net new subs being added in total over 2022-27, driven by India and parts of South and Southeast Asia but partially offset by contraction in all other regions. India and the Philippines will lead in terms of net new subscriber growth over the 2022-27 period.
