The Asia-Pacific territory in the first half of 2012 became the
world’s second-largest region for movie theatre screens equipped
with digital projection technology, with strong growth there and in
other emerging markets helping the global market expand 21 percent
during the period.
The number of digital screens in Asia-Pacific expanded by 28
percent during the first six months of 2012, according to an IHS
Screen Digest Cinema Intelligence Report from information and
analytics provider IHS. This caused the region’s share of global
digital-cinema screens to rise to 25.2 percent, putting it ahead of
Western Europe at 23.6 percent, and behind North America at 41.1
percent.
“Growth in Asia-Pacific was propelled by progress in key markets
within its territory, with digital-cinema penetration rates rising
to 70 percent or higher in Japan, Indonesia, China, Australia and
Singapore,” said Charlotte Jones, principal analyst for cinema at
IHS.
