The US is a big deal in the world of streaming. It makes up almost 40% of all media and entertainment money, which is a huge $430 billion out of the $1. 1 trillion global market. This country is leading in every major streaming area. It has 53% of the subscription video on demand (SVOD) market, 80% of free ad-supported TV (FAST), and 70% of connected TV advertising.
Korean content is also making waves. It's the most popular non-English content worldwide. Korean shows often appear in Netflix's global Top 10 lists. This shows that people everywhere love Korean stories.
