Press Release Summary: New report looks at the status and future prospects of the
movie
markets in Asia, the fastest growing region in the world
Press Release Body: LOS ANGELES, CA – September 20, 2007 – Entertainment Asia
Network (EAN), a research firm focused on surveying the media
industries of Asia,
has announced the release of a new report titled “Asia Film Industry Report 2007”
that seeks to provide an overview of key Asian territories and their relevant film
markets through details on market size, population segmentation, production,
financing, distribution, exhibition, export market, import market and home video/DVD
market.
The purpose of this new report is to analyze the current status and future prospects
of the film/movie industry in all of the major Asia territories that include the
following: China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand
and Vietnam. The report forecasts are based on economic and geographic factors that
have significantly contributed to the region’s rapid development such as population
totals, purchasing power and domestic consumer spending growth, rising ticket
prices, increasing number of plush multiplex theaters and screens, increase in
domestic film production, emergence of home video infrastructure, rise in quality
and quantity in local creative talent and cultural changes.
Asia’s powerhouse economies of China, India, South Korea and Japan will continue to
post spectacular gains and the financial strength of these growing markets will
eventually result in an Asia that is capable of sustaining itself with the regional
profits alone. To achieve the sense of immense market potential that is Asia, EAN
forecasts that the four nation’s domestic theatrical movie market, a sector that
exhibits the least amount of regional variance, will have combined total revenues of
over $10.5 billion by the year 2020 with Gross Domestic Product totals that will
reach over $16 billion. Furthermore, EAN suggests that the four regions will follow
a steep upward trend to overtake the U.S. industry by sometime in the year 2025.
The report ultimately seeks to deliver a clear, overall view and accurate assessment
of Asia’s entertainment and media industry, which can prove to be difficult as the
entertainment
sectors in Asia differ drastically in terms of structure, organization
and definition from region to region. For purposes of accuracy, simplicity and
clarity of understanding the broad picture, the report focuses on just the film
industry to get its message across, as it is the one industry that exhibits the
least amount of regional variance across the area. Through objective analysis and
research, the report illustrates the potentially enormous force that Asia will
become in the global marketplace over the next 40 to 50 years.
