South Korea Online Video Platforms Market to Grow at a CAGR of 12.90% During 2026-2035, Aided by Rising Smartphone and Internet Adoption Alongside the Global K-Pop and Korean Culture Wave.

The online video platform market in South Korea is experiencing significant growth, fuelled by a rising consumer preference for engaging digital content. This shift in consumption patterns is driven by increasing digital literacy and the widespread availability of high-speed internet, leading to a surge in demand for online video platforms.

The rise of remote work, learning, and entertainment, fuelled by digital transformation, has demonstrably propelled the South Korea online video platforms market growth. These platforms have become ubiquitous tools for corporate training, distance education, digital marketing, live event streaming, and social media integration.

The diversification of online video platform (OVP) applications across numerous sectors significantly contributes to the growth of the South Korean OVP market. In the educational realm, OVPs facilitate virtual classrooms and remote learning opportunities. The media and entertainment industry leverages OVPs for content distribution, audience engagement, and advertising monetisation. Furthermore, marketers utilise OVPs to expand customer reach and foster deeper engagement through targeted video advertising and content marketing strategies.

In a meeting held in April 2023 between the South Korean government and Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX), a significant investment increase in the South Korean content market was announced. The company announced USD 2.5 billion over the next four years, doubling its commitment since 2016.
