Asia Video Industry Association

The June 2025 edition of Asia Video Pulse highlights a pivotal industry transformation taking place, one where collaboration is taking center stage. While consolidation among major players continues, a growing trend of strategic cooperation is emerging across the ecosystem. Streamers are bundling services, broadcasters are co-producing content, and telcos are partnering with OTT platforms – all in recognition that no single entity can thrive alone in today’s fragmented digital environment.

Meanwhile, AVIA continues to lead efforts across Asia to tackle piracy, engage with regulators, and support advertising and local market growth. From tackling the cybersecurity threats posed by illegal streaming devices to monitoring emerging regulations in key markets like India, Indonesia, and Hong Kong, AVIA remains a critical voice for the industry. With market events such as the Archipelago and Northeast Asia Video Summits on the horizon, the second half of 2025 promises fresh opportunities for collaboration and innovation across the region.
