Asia Pacific has been the dominant region in the global OTT content market with estimated market share of 44.8% in 2024 due to high Internet and smartphone penetration, widespread adoption of streaming services, and presence of key players in the region.
Platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video have built solid subscriber bases in the country by licensing popular television shows and movies as well as producing original content tailored for American audiences. Major studios have also recognized the revenue potential of direct-to-consumer release strategies for new films and are embracing the OTT business model.
While North America maintains its leadership position, Southeast Asia is emerging as the fastest growing regional OTT content market globally. Countries like India, Indonesia and Thailand are witnessing exponential growth due to increasing smartphone and internet adoption among consumers. OTT players are actively investing resources to target and develop content specifically for these audiences.
The growing middle-class population and affordable data plans have driven online streaming to become mainstream in Southeast Asia. Although the OTT content market is still developing compared to more mature markets, it has significant potential for growth if platforms can offer engaging catalogs tailored to regional preferences and formats like short-form videos, which are popular among younger audiences. Despite the ongoing challenge of piracy, strict government regulations and relatively low subscription prices compared to per capita income will be crucial for platforms to convert users into paying subscribers. Southeast Asia's diverse market offers lucrative opportunities for OTT players if they can effectively localize their operations and content offerings in the region.
