According to a new report from consultancy and research firm Media Partners Asia digital media will grow in significance and expand its share of the market from a current 69% (worth $164 billion) to 74%, worth $215 billion by 2029. Seven markets – China, Japan, India, Australia, Korea, Indonesia, and Vietnam – will drive the sector’s growth, contributing nearly $50 billion in incremental revenue between 2024 and 2029.
