A Review of Digital Creative Industries in Asia

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Netflix have published ‘A Review of Digital Creative Industries in Asia: Opportunities and Policies to Foster Growth and Create High-Quality Jobs’. 

Asia’s creative industries are benefiting from rapid digitalisation and need countries to plug skills gaps, boost access to financing, and step up data infrastructure to ensure they can create jobs and support socioeconomic growth, this report shows.

The publication focuses on movies, music, and gaming in India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Assessing the potential of artificial intelligence, the private sector, and investment challenges, the report looks at ways countries can use incentives, supportive regulation, and better funding options to foster their creative industries and become attractive offshoring destinations.
