Analyst Opinion
The Home Video eCommerce Market in Asia is experiencing a mild decline, influenced by factors such as shifting consumer preferences towards streaming services, increased competition, and changes in media consumption habits that prioritize instant access over physical purchases.
Customer preferences: Consumers in Asia are increasingly gravitating towards on-demand streaming platforms, which offer convenience and a vast array of content at their fingertips, reflecting a cultural preference for instant gratification. Additionally, younger demographics, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, favor mobile-first experiences, pushing brands to adapt their offerings. The rise of social media influencers also shapes viewing habits, as curated content recommendations fuel interest in streaming over physical media, further contributing to the decline in home video eCommerce.
Trends in the market: In Asia, the Home Video eCommerce Market is experiencing a significant decline as consumers increasingly shift towards on-demand streaming platforms, driven by a desire for instant access to a wide range of content. The transition is particularly pronounced among Gen Z and Millennials, who prefer mobile-first experiences that align with their digital lifestyles. Furthermore, the influence of social media creators is reshaping content consumption patterns, as curated recommendations encourage viewers to seek out streaming options over traditional physical media. This shift poses challenges for retail stakeholders, who must adapt to the changing landscape by exploring partnerships and enhancing digital engagement strategies.
Local special circumstances: In Japan, the Home Video eCommerce Market faces unique challenges due to a strong cultural preference for physical media, particularly among older generations, which contrasts with the growing trend of digital consumption among youth. In South Korea, high-speed internet access and a tech-savvy population have accelerated the shift towards streaming, while local regulations and content restrictions influence the type of available media. In Indonesia, a diverse archipelago with varying access to technology creates disparities in digital adoption, affecting eCommerce growth. Thailand's vibrant entertainment industry, coupled with increasing smartphone use, is driving demand for on-demand content, but cultural factors still favor communal viewing experiences.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Home Video eCommerce Market in Asia is significantly influenced by macroeconomic factors such as consumer spending, internet penetration, and regulatory environments. In Japan, stagnant wage growth and an aging population contribute to a preference for physical media, despite the rise of digital platforms. South Korea's robust economy and high disposable income bolster streaming services, supported by government initiatives promoting digital innovation. In Indonesia, varying economic development across regions creates disparities in eCommerce adoption, affecting market growth. Thailand's growing middle class and mobile internet usage stimulate demand for on-demand content, although traditional viewing habits still play a crucial role in shaping consumption patterns.

Methodology
Data coverage:
Data refers to B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the sale of physical goods via a digital channel to a private end consumer. This definition encompasses purchases via desktop computers (including notebooks and laptops) as well as purchases via mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets). The following are not included in the eCommerce market: digitally distributed services (see instead: eServices), digital media downloads or streams, digitally distributed goods in B2B markets, and the digital purchase or resale of used, defective, or repaired goods (reCommerce and C2C). All monetary figures refer to the annual gross revenue and do not factor in shipping costs.Modeling approach / Market size:
Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Global Consumer Survey), data on shopping behavior (e.g., Google Trends, Alibaba Trends), and performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price/product). Furthermore, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations such as GDP, consumer spending, internet penetration, and population. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, internet penetration, and population.Additional Notes:
The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is considered at a country-specific level. The impact of the Russia/Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.Get in touch with us for additional information
