Asia Mobile Content Consumption Trends
Last week we released the findings of a recent study on content consumption trends in Asia Pacific. The report analyses some of the key facts, figures and trends on how people are reading and watching online content in the region.
We took as a sample some of the key markets in Asia Pacific – Singapore, India, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines – and looked at how those insights relate to trends reported in two of the most advanced and mature markets for content marketing: the U.S. and UK.

Asia Pacific is an extremely vast region, with lots of cultural and social differences. This means that individual markets within the region show varied preferences when it comes to content consumption, even within the same content category.
We hope that these findings will provide insight and a greater understanding of some of the key content consumption trends across Asia Pacific and globally to support you in making better informed choices, as part of your content marketing strategy planning.
