About this report
The purpose of this report is to analyze the current status and future prospects of the film/movie industry in all of the major Asian territories that include the following:
China
Hong Kong
India
Japan
Korea
Singapore
Taiwan
Thailand
Vietnam
This report seeks to present an overview of the Asia territories’ film market by providing detailed information on each of their market size, population segmentation, production, financing, distribution, exhibition, export market, import market and home video/DVD market.
Why is this report needed? With the explosive growth of Asia’s economy, consumer spending on entertainment products and services in the Asia regions has risen to unprecedented heights. From the popularity of Asian movies, TV shows, online games, music and digital contents, what was once considered a niche market is now being looked upon with great envy. Western entertainment and media companies had little to fear just a few years ago, when Hollywood was easily able to dominate Asian markets and inject Western influence through pop culture. This is no longer the case. Locals now have better access to its own entertainment consumers in Asia, the fastest growing market in the world.
Much of our views 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 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.
This report ultimately seeks to deliver a clear and overall view and assessment of Asia’s entertainment and media industry, but the entertainment sectors in Asia differ drastically in terms of the structure, organization and definition from region to region. For purposes of accuracy, simplicity and clarity of understanding the broad picture, this report focuses on just the film industry, the one entertainment sector that exhibits the least regional variance across the area. Through our objective analysis and research, this report seeks to demonstrate the potentially enormous force that Asia, particularly the countries of China, India, South Korea and Japan, will become in the global marketplace over the next 40 to 50 years.

In this report, China film industry is forecasted to grow from generating $250 million in box office profits in 2005 to reach close to $900 million by 2010 and almost $2 billion by 2015. Furthermore, China will follow a steep upward trend to overtake the U.S. film industry, currently the dominant global market leader, by sometime in 2050.
Market growth will be driven by a number of factors based on current and past trends including increases in domestic purchasing power, disposable income and consumer spending, rising ticket prices, increase in digital cinema technology and distribution, decrease in piracy rates, rising number of high-quality theaters, multiplexes and screens, increases in domestic film productions and Asian co-productions, cultural and regulatory changes and the emergence of a DVD/home video market.
The once hazy view of China’s film future is becoming increasingly better defined. Driven by an economic engine on overdrive, the rapid accrual of wealth and the rise of entertainment spending following close behind, the continued momentum of China’s growing film market will clearly persist. While the full realization of China’s motion picture industry is still many years away, the report states that now is the right time for foreign entertainment and media companies to initiate entry strategies and develop long-term plans in order to fully capitalize on this media promise land.
U.S. media players, production companies, manufacturers and distributors should all become well aware of the threat of China and its neighbors, which will soon combine to overshadow Hollywood. As the Asian “powerhouse” economies of China, India, South Korea and Japan continue to post spectacular gains, the financial strength of these growing markets will eventually result in an Asia that is capable of sustaining itself with the regional profits alone. The growth of China’s film market will drive key regional Asian markets with an increase of mutually beneficial regional cooperation and integration in filmmaking that will lead to heightened visibility, awareness and profitability of the Asian entertainment industries.
This report provides a comprehensive look at the China film industry with an emphasis on regional economic, political and cultural perspectives of the market. This report was designed to give anyone interested in investing in the China film market a clear understanding of the current market situation and status in an effort to assist in the development of effective market entry strategies and investments within its sub-sectors. It also guides readers through the complex maze of existing regulatory policies and limitations as well as provide the most up-to-date information about current market trends and tendencies.
This report also analyzes market segmentations as well as prior models of success achieved by select industry majors, and provides development strategies and a guide to capitalizing untapped sectors of the local market. We have also provided a long-term box-office forecast that provides a more realistic outlook of the future of China's film industry. |

| The purpose of this report is to analyze and forecast the future of the Asia entertainment & media industry with a broad, long-term outlook through the means of information and statistics based on Asia's economic status, growth and historical and cultural background. This report will then explain the importance of how this all translates into the future prosperity and development of the entertainment & media / cultural content industry. Ultimately, this report seeks to present long-term strategies that are mutually beneficial for both western and Asian entertainment companies to encourage more stable market growth and development that will prove to be favorable for both parties. As the entertainment sectors sometimes drastically differs from region to region in how it is structured or defined, this report will focus on a market sector that remains universal to all regions - the movie industry - as the basis for comparison and analysis in relation to the entertainment & media / cultural content industry as a whole. This report will examine the movie industries of the 'A4' countries of the People's Republic of China, South Korea, Japan and India, as well as Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam. |

Protective government policies and restrictions have long been in place in various countries with the intent of safeguarding their local film industry and cultural ideologies from an onslaught of Hollywood movies. These policies generally took the form of either exhibition or import quotas or a combination of both, which typically limited the amount of days or number of foreign titles that were allowed to be screened in cinemas, or limited the total number of foreign titles that were allowed into the country for distribution and screening altogether.
In certain countries, particularly that of South Korea, the screen quota system has been credited for the country's rapid increase in local film market share, beating out Hollywood fare by a significant margin, but the recent actions taken by the Korean government to cut the screen quota by half amidst heavy pressure from the US trade negotiators has become a hot-blooded issue that is garnering the interest of everyone involved in the global film industry. However, in recent years, the screen quota issue has become so politicized and to many Asians it has become the most influential symbol of cultural protectionism that the actual effects the screen quota has on the film industry has been overlooked entirely.
This report will examine the screen quota systems in Asia and the actual effects it has on its domestic film industries by analyzing the various aspects of different film industry sectors, focusing on the events and aftermath of the controversial screen quota reduction in South Korea, examining audience trends, tendencies and culture, and determining the real motive behind the aggressive US push to abolish the screen quota in Korea. |

In regions such as South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, audiences are starting to favor foreign entertainment and media products that come directly from other Asian regions over Hollywood products. It is indicative of the creative power and potential of domestic entertainment in Asia and reason to believe Asian consumers are becoming more nationalistic about their own cultural background and are more inclined to accept films, TV shows and music that highlight cultural appropriateness in the Asian market. This is the mark of an era where local Asian entertainment products will start to capitalize on the current Pan-Asian trend and challenge Hollywood's dominant supremacy.
Leading this cultural entertainment charge is South Korea, a region of only 48 million citizens that has seen its film industry on a steep uphill climb since a small, local action film called "Shiri" took the nation by storm in 1999 and shocked industry watchers by taking in a record 5.8 million people. In 2005, the trend has continued and saw a film such as the low-budget $4.5 million "King and the Clown" record 12.3 million admissions, or roughly over a quarter of the entire population. On top of Korean films, other Korean dramas, online games and music exports have also successfully penetrated neighboring Asian markets and have grown immensely popular. Taking South Korea's experience as a prime example, the other Asian neighbors are starting to follow its trend.
This report will closely examine this unique market phenomenon by analyzing Korea's domestic film market statistics, export results and exhibition status, study Asian entertainment audience trends such as viewing habits and media consumption, and analyze important cultural aspects to consider when creating content that specifically cater to this region. |
