With superior video and audio quality when compared to standard definition TV broadcasting, HDTV content is being marketed as premium content that has the potential to boost incremental monthly revenues for cable and satellite operators, as well as provide terrestrial TV broadcasters with a new weapon in the fight against pay-TV services in Asia/Pacific. Over 9.9 million TV households in five Asia/Pacific countries—Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore—received and watched HDTV programming by the end of 2006.

HDTV content availability remains limited in the region, but has great potential in the coming five years.

In-Stat forecasts that the total consumer revenue from HDTV content being broadcasted in Asia/Pacific will reach US$8.06 billon by 2012, with a CAGR of 16.7% from 2006 to 2012.
