Mark Chew emphasized the unique nature of the APAC region,stating,”The Asia-Pacific region presents both exciting opportunities and unique challenges when it comes to content acquisition.With its diverse markets and rapidly evolving consumer habits, there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy.” He added that Sportel Monaco provides an “ideal platform to bring together rights-holders, broadcasters and industry leaders to exchange perspectives on how best to serve fans and unlock growth in APAC.”
the Growing Importance of the APAC Sports Market
The Asia-Pacific region represents a notable growth engine for the global sports industry. According to a 2023 report by Nielsen Sports, sports sponsorship revenue in APAC reached $14.8 billion, a 12% increase from the previous year. This growth is driven by increasing disposable incomes, a rising middle class, and growing interest in international sports leagues.
However, navigating the APAC market is complex. Cultural nuances, varying levels of digital infrastructure, and fragmented media landscapes require rights holders and broadcasters to adopt localized strategies. Prosperous content acquisition in APAC often involves partnerships with local distributors, tailored content offerings, and a strong focus on digital platforms.
