ATF 2022: main questions & answers for a successful market
Asian TV Forum (ATF) 2022 returns to a full in-person event for the first time after the pandemic. And it takes place in a good moment to invest in Asian Pacific region (APAC). This is one of the emerging zones more stable in economics of the world, that stopped a lot of activities for long time during Covid-19. It is very embedded on technology, especially on its main countries. So, digital platforms and all tech developments mature first and better in APAC, with many leading local OTT players gaining vs global titans.
Why is good to stay this year at ATF? The first return from the pandemic always shows the market more open to the players that attend. And though all the capacity of the RX Global organization was sold in Singapore, the movement is still behind 2019 numbers. So, if you attend you come first vs. many others, that will attend only next year, it is a big opportunity.
ATF 2022, big hits
• It is the rst in person event version after the pandemic
• It takes place in a good moment to invest in APAC
• The recovery from Covid opens strong business inertia
• In APAC, digital platforms and tech developments mature rst and better
• There are many local OTTs leading markets vs global titans.
• 2022 attendees have less competence than 2023 ones
more chances of twisted alliances. Though, global trends are the same everywhere, sooner or later.
All will be AVOD in digital platforms from now? Of course not. Every sector will continue and AVOD growth will refit the content bowl. AVOD is so far a big chance of moving catalogue product, and a great complement to SVOD monetization problems, where original content costs grow faster than subscriber incomes. Some AVODs speaks about starting to produce original content too, but let’s see.
Genres
What is the big trend nowadays in the content market to take in mind? In digital platforms development, the milestone is turning from SVOD to AVOD/FAST channels, from subscribers to advertise ment. Now the OTT platforms want to be also exhibitors, as they need to attract content players to generate FAST channels, made around revenue sharing models and advertisement incomes. This trend is a segment on its own: it includes different kinds of OTTs, aggregators, tech providers, content or business hubs, new outputs as TV set manufacturers, luxury cars, etc.
In Asia, do we have the same digital map than international? Not at all, in Asia and Middle East, 7 from 10 leading OTTs are local or regional, vs Europe and the Americas where the global titans —Netflix, etc.— are the heads. Please see our other reports at this ATF edition to precise them. Due to so strong and so many lo cal players, there are more fragmentation in content demand, and
So… which are the big drivers of the international and Asian/ APAC content markets? Mainly three: 1, co-productions, the way for broadcasters to access to high-end product and open abroad mar kets. 2, the original content for SVODs, which now faces a stop in many projects, but continues as the big production hit worldwide.
The OTT market in APAC, from atomization to massiveness
Asia Pacific’s SVOD market is forecast to grow 19% in 2022 to US$24.6 bill, with China contributing 51%. But, how is this mar ket constituted that, despite being part of a unified region, has so much diversity at both cultural and economic levels?
According to Duckju Kang, founder and CEO of ValueChampion, since Netflix’s grew in the industry for over a decade, many entre preneurs in Asia have been launching their own video streaming platforms to recreate Netflix’s success. India has been probably one of the most involved in this, with a OTT video market is in its second growth phase with total revenues of US$3 billion in 2022
expected to more than double to almost US$7 billion by 2027. Five leading platforms – YouTube, Meta, Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix – will account for a combined 82% of total online video revenues in 2022.
There were some notable local streaming services that closely competed with Netflix, Kang says. For example, Hotstar TV in India was closely behind Netflix in terms of revenue ranking: as the 2nd most popular streaming app, it had an overall revenue ranking of 4.25 behind Netflix’s 1.08.

Nowadays in the world, the OTT platforms are moving focus from SVOD to AVOD, from subscribers to advertisement. What can we say about broadcasters at this new media scenario?
Last Mipcom, at the FRAPA Formats Summit, there was an inter esting debate between iconic European broadcasters. How do you perform better? Julien Degroote, EVP content development, TF1 France, said: ‘We give priority to unscripted formats, because they always score better numbers.
FAST/AVOD, back to basics?
Content consumption is constantly changing. But that change can sometimes mean going back to basics. In this report, Prensario analyzes the new consumer trend: FAST channels, what they are and what new opportunities they bring to the industry.
Free Ad Supported TV (FAST) channels are, on the one hand, free streaming services with advertising, but on the other, they extend the traditional linear TV service to connected devices such as mo bile phones, tablets or connected televisions.
Unlike traditional linear channels, FAST allows you to offer dy namic ad insertion, giving you the opportunity to establish specific
audience targets for brands, and a more assertive analysis of re sults, with relevant advertising for each user.
The models for creating a FAST channel are split into two: an existing channel can be taken, both Free TV and Pay TV, or an in dependent content catalog can be taken and turned into a chan nel. The second becomes a very useful tool, especially for those producers and distributors who have a niche offer, a significant volume of titles, or who perhaps cannot have a strong penetration in services where the purchase and sale of rights can have a value, established or at least a GM if the model were low revenue share.
