Trends & Outlook 2022 Unfortunately, the end of the Covid-19 pandemic remains uncertain, but as the world adapts to this new reality, our business evolves with it. We started to see content production and sales pick up in the second half of 2021. There is high demand for content as global and regional streamers continue to expand in Asia and the demand for Asian content is even higher. Although some premium channels are exiting the linear business, we will see opportunities for niche and secondary linear channels to have a greater presence on cable systems, where there have been high barriers to entry in the past.”
