Irdeto, the global leader in digital video platform experiences and security, is thrilled to participate in CommunicAsia 2024, where it will showcase Irdeto Experience. This comprehensive suite of solutions enables pay-TV, telecommunications companies, and streaming operators to build, manage, control and enrich their video services, while leveraging the growing trend of super aggregation.

The Asia-Pacific media and entertainment market is experiencing rapid expansion, with online video revenues projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% to reach US $78.5 billion by 2028. This surge is driven by improved connectivity, rising connected TV penetration, and the growth of local creator economies (Advanced Television, 2024). The APAC region is witnessing a significant shift towards digital platforms, with online video sales in key markets like Japan, India, and Korea growing robustly.
