BroadcastAsia2014
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
According to the FICCI – KPMG Media & Entertainment 2013 report,[1] the Indian media and entertainment (M&E) industry has grown by 11.8 per cent in 2013, vis-à-vis 2012, reaching Rs 918 billion. Given the impetus introduced by digitisation, continued growth of regional media, upcoming elections, continued strength in the film sector and fast increasing new media businesses, the industry is expected to stand at Rs 1039 billion by end of 2014.
Speaking at the press conference held today in Mumbai, Mr. Calvin Koh, Assistant Project Director for BroadcastAsia from organiser Singapore Exhibition Services (SES) said, “Despite rapid development in recent years, the potential for growth in the broadcast technology sector in India remains tremendous. As the country moves into its final stages of digitisation, the demand for higher quality digital content looks set to escalate. The industry has never been more ready to embrace the latest and most advanced technologies, and BroadcastAsia provides the ideal platform for Indian industry professionals to get acquainted with the world’s best.”

Spotlight on Sportscasting,
Professional Audio Technology enhancing the
Multi-screen experience and more
BroadcastAsia2014, Asia’s largest and most
established digital and multimedia trade event, is set to feature some of the hottest
technologies and solutions for the pro-audio, film and TV industries. Fuelled by a steep increase in consumption of
data and entertainment on mobile devices, consumers now seek reliable and
seamless services on the go; and the industry is responding with a
proliferation of cutting-edge solutions such as social TV and second/multi
screens that help them stay connected in an evolving digital world.
This
trend, familiarly coined as the ‘pay TV boom’, will be showcased at BroadcastAsia2014 and
will inspire broadcasters to pursue the right business models, whilst
harnessing the best technologies in order to monetize content. The exhibition
will attend to many Indian companies participating at the event to gather
insights to the shift in the pattern of media and content consumption from the global
perspective.
Growth
in Indian broadcast industry
According to the FICCI – KPMG Media & Entertainment 2013 report,[1] the Indian media and entertainment (M&E) industry has grown by 11.8 per cent in 2013, vis-à-vis 2012, reaching Rs 918 billion. Given the impetus introduced by digitisation, continued growth of regional media, upcoming elections, continued strength in the film sector and fast increasing new media businesses, the industry is expected to stand at Rs 1039 billion by end of 2014.
The
emerging markets are driving growth in the pay-TV market. That is what a recent
paper released by Infonetics Research[2] says.
Markets such as India, China and Latin America are the ones adding to the pay-TV
growth. In India and China, about 25 million subscribers switched from analogue
to digital, with India in its last two phases of digitisation. Another 75
million will be included to the list by the end of 2014 adding to the growth of
pay-TV.
The growth
in the media & entertainment industry is indicative of the changing concept
of audio technology. Sound quality is a priority - with users demanding better
quality of audio delivered on their choice of medium. The introduction of HD
technology in all spheres - audio and video has also raised the consumer demand
for high-quality and reliability. There is a rapid transition from analog to
digital in the audio technology segment, which has been evident in the last few
years. According to the latest figures available on the internet from Broadcast
& Satellite Asia Report, the total Indian market for pro audio equipment was
projected to reach Rs. 180 crore in 2010-11, a growth of about 20 per cent over
last fiscal year[3].
