The USA is the most important M&E market in the world

At the same time, Korean content has become the world's most-watched non-English programming, with Korean titles consistently appearing in Netflix's global Top 10 lists.

Speaking at the recent KFAST New York event, hosted by the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT and KAIT, Maria Rua Aguete, Head of Media & Entertainment at Omdia, highlighted how these two forces are converging.

"The US is the world's largest FAST market, and Korean content is the most in-demand non-English content globally," said Rua Aguete. "Bringing them together isn't just strategic - it's a multi-billion-dollar opportunity.

"Platforms are actively seeking premium, high-engagement programming. Korean FAST channels have the audience, the global appeal, and the momentum to win in the US market."

With the US driving FAST growth and Korea leading the global content wave, the opportunity for Korean FAST channels in America is now at its strongest point yet.
