Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2026-2030: Hong Kong summary

September 2026

Hong Kong’s entertainment and media industry is set for steady growth.

Digital is the clear driver: over-the-top (OTT) video and internet advertising are leading the way, with music close behind. AI adoption is also maturing fast, with a growing share of Hong Kong E&M companies already scaling AI across their value chains—comparable to global leaders.
