Asia pay-TV: US$45 bil. by 2015

Overall revenue generated by Asia's pay television industry is expected to more than double to Dollars 45bn by 2015, while within a decade India will match Japan and become one of the region's biggest pay TV markets, according to a new report.

The study, conducted by Media Partners Asia, a research group, also predicts that by 2010 India will overtake Japan as the region's leading revenue-generating market for pay TV broadcasters, thanks to strong subscription and advertising growth.

"India is probably the most important and accessible broadcasting revenue opp-ortunity across Asia. It isnot as big as China in advertising terms but it is more accessible," said Vivek Couto, MPA executive director.

Although India's pay TV market is still plagued with regulatory constraints in areas such as foreign investment, the country offers strong potential for broadcasters and content providers due to its size, says the report.

According to MPA, India was Asia's second largest pay TV market last year with revenue of about Dollars 3.6bn (Euros 3bn, Pounds 2bn), roughly the same as China. But the country is expected to grow to Dollars 10.5bn by 2015 to join Japan as Asia's largest. The bulk of revenue in India comes from subscriptions, although advertising sales is growing rapidly.

Penetration of pay TV in India is expected to jump from 53 per cent of its 214m households in 2005 to 70 per cent of 250m homes in 2015.

"We believe that the market, not regulation, will triumph in the long term," said the report.

Revenue for broadcasters is also expected to grow from Dollars 1.4bn in 2005 to Dollars 2.9bn by 2010. By this date India is set to surpass Japan as the region's biggest revenue-generating market for pay TV broadcasters.

Some of the biggest broadcasters in India's fragmented pay TV market include News Corp's Star TV and domestic players such as Zee TV and Sun TV. But MPA warned that profit margins in the industry have begun to erode.
