Leading streaming platforms including Disney+ Hotstar, Netflix, and local player Vidio have significantly increased investment in Indonesian-language original content, particularly targeting stories from beyond Jakarta to appeal to the country's diverse regional audiences.

Social media and digital platforms have further consolidated their position as primary content distribution channels. Platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube have become increasingly central to media consumption, with traditional media companies developing platform-specific content strategies to reach Indonesia's digitally engaged population.

In transactional trends, MD Entertainment acquired a 60.98 per cent stare in NET TV, leading to significant changes in the company's leadership and a subsequent rebranding to MDTV in February 2025. This acquisition represents the trend of consolidation within Indonesia's media sector as companies seek to strengthen their market positions in a competitive industry.
