Hong Kong- Broadband in Japan and Korea and digital TV in China and India will spearhead the growth in the media industries’ revenues, according to Media Partners Asia. Japan’s broadband sector will generate approximately US$19 billion in annual turnover by 2015, while the overall broadband pay-TV market will be worth a sizable US$28 billion, MPA predicts. The research and analysis firm says digital adoption will grow exponentially in India, but broadband consumption will remain modest. MPA forecasts show India’s pay-TV penetration spiking up from 61% of TV homes in 2006 to 84% by 2011 and almost 90% by 2015. More than 37% of pay-TV users will be connected to a digital network by 2015, implying 62 million digital subs by 2015. Pay-TV turnover will climb rapidly, boosted by subscription and advertising growth, to reach $10 billion by 2011 and $16 billion by 2015. In China, total digital subs are expected to ramp up from 10 million in 2006 to 70 million by 2011, and 107 million by 2015, spurred by the production of higher quality content and services such as HDTV, PVR and VoD. For the first time, English Premier League Soccer matches will be shown
