India is one of the leading participants at Asia’s pinnacle broadcasting and digital multimedia industry event
MUMBAI, 28th APRIL 2016 – Bringing together global leaders as well as emergent players from all around Asia, the upcoming BroadcastAsia2016 is the largest industry event for Asia’s broadcast, film and digital media entertainment industry. The event, held from 31 May – 3 June in Singapore, is where broadcasters, content providers and technology experts gather to share strategies and exchange views that will further shape the broadcasting industry.
Content is now on-demand and at consumers’ finger tips with active Asia Pacific OTT video subscribers reaching 494 million last year. With entry of disruptive players like Netflix in Asia Pacific coupled with today’s increasingly demanding consumers, the broadcasting industry now faces new challenges in OTT, digital media asset management, video delivery, TV monetisation strategies and more.
Frost & Sullivan’s market insight on the OTT video market in India finds that there are about 66 million unique connected video viewers in India every month, and about 1.3 million OTT paid video subscribers. The market insight includes an overview of the market landscape and ecosystem, trends in Internet video consumption, forecasts for video viewers and paid subscribers from 2015 to 2020.
“The broadcast industry across Asia is in a state of flux as increasing mobile broadband penetration continues to drive OTT growth in the region. With broadcast operators moving to reshape their business and operational models to align themselves with changing consumer trends, BroadcastAsia will provide the technology and best practices to help navigate this change successfully,” says Mr. Calvin Koh, Assistant Project Director (Communications Events) from organiser Singapore Exhibition Services.

Commenting on BroadcastAsia2016, Mr. Ankur Jain, Vice President, Sales & Business Development, APAC, Prime Focus Technologies, says, “The media and entertainment industry is undergoing unprecedented change as it deals with Digital Next realities - new entrants challenging traditional players, new technology enabling over the top (OTT), revenue opportunities blurring the lines between media and digital companies, and new geographies accessible for faster distribution. Content enterprises can no longer afford to ignore the realities of an industry that is experiencing such rapid change and placing ever increasing demands on its participants. Media and Entertainment enterprises need to break the shackles of isolated media asset management systems. They need to embrace digital transformation to virtualise the content supply chain and adopt centralisation by deploying one software for the whole enterprise. We are happy to be at BroadcastAsia2016, where next generation solutions will be showcased to help media companies learn and adapt to new changes in the global broadcasting industry.”
