Market Insights

Pay-TV penetration in Asia Pacific is set to decline slightly through 2023 as cord cutting in developed Asia Pacific will not be fully offset by growing IPTV adoption in markets like China and Thailand. The popularization of third party video OTT platforms and the rapid evolution of viewer's habits towards non-linear video are forcing pay-TV operators to enhance their traditional service propositions with more innovative features like menu style channel selection and increased integration with the OTT world.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) will face a slight decline in pay-tv penetration over the 2018-2023 forecast period as cord-cutting in developed APAC eclipses growth in emerging APAC. It is estimated that APAC closed 2018 with a 67.4% pay-TV household penetration, with this figure expected to decline to 67% by end-2023. Cord cutting in countries such as Australia, Japan, and South Korea will offset gains in DTH and IPTV in South and Southeast Asia.

Key Highlights

• Over the last few years, most developed APAC markets have been experiencing subscriber declines as a result of customers swapping their traditional pay-TV subscriptions for OTT video alternatives, a trend that we expect will continue over the forecast period.
• Although cord-cutting is still not affecting countries in emerging APAC, we expect subscriber growth to decelerate.
• The driving force behind growth in the region are large scale fiber broadband network buildouts. As fixed network operators look to monetize their investments and gain subscribers, IPTV delivered via fiber is used as extra incentive to sign up broadband customers.
• With the rapid popularization of OTT distribution platforms changing the way people view and pay for content, some operators are looking at more flexible channel packages to cater to customer demands and meet the price points of OTT platforms. In India regulatory pressure is driving this trend.
• An increasing number of pay-TV operators are opting to integrate pay-TV and OTT services together, either by leveraging their own OTT platform or by partnering with third party OTT players.
