With a combined population of million, and a combined GDP of trillion, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia represent sizeable and attractive growth markets for streaming services.

Streaming services are competing for growth through a mix of revenue models: subscription video on demand (SVOD), advertising video on demand (AVOD), and a hybrid of both. Global SVOD giants Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are both constrained by localisation strategies in both content and features, allowing local incumbent services resilience and rich opportunities for the new direct to consumer entrants coming to market in
