Main focus in 2022
Trends & Outlook 2022
With another year under the socioeconomic impacts of the global pandemic, the convergence to a new technology-driven world will continue to amplify. The Video Industry will be facing another year of doubts and opportunities that would lead to significant changes. That will include mergers and acquisitions and disappearances of existing players, and the rising of new ones. Our focus will be to surf those waves and remain relevant to our partners and viewers.”
“As the streaming video industry matures and more players will compete for the same eyeballs, likely, the existing business models will also evolve to reach greater profitability. In Asia-Pacific, the current AVOD and SVOD business models will compete with a new dual-stream revenue scheme (Ads + Subs) and Freemium services. In the meantime, many of the current Pay-TV operators will try to shift to vMVPDs (virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributors). It is Alexandre Muller, Managing Director Asia-Pacific becoming increasingly evident that streaming will ultimately take over traditional pay-TV a few years from now, especially in the most mature markets. The number of FAST (or Free AdSupported Streaming) channels is also likely to increase significantly. This increase will serve the need of many viewers to return to their old laid-back streaming habits, especially those equipped with Connected TV.”
Advertising
All channels provided by TV5MONDE in this region are Pay-TV channels, and are advertising-free.
