- 4Australia’s Producer Offset gives 40% QAPE for theatrically-released features and 30% for TV series, on top of a separate 30% Location Offset for large international productions.
- 5South Korea’s Studio Dragon delivered three consecutive top-3 global Netflix hits by viewing hours between 2023 and 2025, reinforcing the region’s streaming-commissioning power.
The top production houses in APAC include Studio Dragon (Seoul, South Korea — CJ ENM’s production arm, delivering repeated top-3 global Netflix hits), Banijay Asia (Mumbai, India — produces scripted, unscripted, and factual content across the region), and Fremantle / Beach House Pictures (Singapore — Fremantle’s majority-owned Southeast Asian producer for Netflix titles). Australia’s Gold Coast, Seoul, Tokyo, and Singapore/Jakarta are APAC’s primary hubs, each backed by a distinct national incentive. Vitrina indexes verified APAC production houses with direct contacts, facility details, and production credits.
Why APAC Is a Fast-Growing Production Market
APAC’s production ecosystem spans Australia and New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia — a genuinely pan-regional bloc that streaming platforms now treat as a single commissioning market. The region is defined by five structural forces: a record-setting Netflix commissioning pace across the bloc, Australia’s Gold Coast emerging as a Southern Hemisphere studio hub, Korea’s continued global drama dominance through Studio Dragon and CJ ENM, an incentive arms race with Japan and Indonesia both reaching 50% rebates, and Southeast Asia’s rise as an alternative to a contracting Chinese import market.
Key Stat
Australia’s Gold Coast screen sector generated A$924 million in expenditure in 2024/25 — up 77% since 2020/21 — with 14 major productions filming there in 2025 including Monarch: Legacy of Monsters S2 and Godzilla x Kong: Supernova (If.com.au).
Studio Dragon anchors Korea’s global drama pipeline. Banijay Asia represents the pan-regional independent model out of Mumbai. Fremantle / Beach House Pictures shows how European groups are acquiring Southeast Asian producers to serve streaming demand directly. For comparison, see our top production houses in Asia directory.

APAC Production Hubs: Australia, Korea, Japan & Southeast Asia
Production capacity across APAC spans four distinct hub types — a Southern Hemisphere studio hub, a drama-export powerhouse, an anime/virtual-production leader, and a fast-growing Southeast Asian bloc.
Gold Coast combines soundstage growth with dual Australian incentive programmes. Seoul remains the drama-export leader through Studio Dragon and CJ ENM. Tokyo pairs anime specialization with one of the region’s highest rebate rates. Singapore and Jakarta represent the fastest-growing Southeast Asian bloc. For regional benchmarking, see our top production houses in Asia directory.
How to Choose a Production House in APAC
Choosing the right production partner in APAC starts with understanding the difference between a production house (develops and produces its own content, retaining creative and/or financial ownership) and a production services company (executes another party’s production on location without a creative or financial stake). International producers evaluating APAC should weigh five factors: incentive eligibility under the target country’s rebate programme, streaming platform relationships given the region’s Netflix/Prime Video/Disney+ commissioning intensity, facility capacity at growth hubs like the Gold Coast, whether “APAC” includes Australia/NZ for the specific project’s framing needs, and local-market storytelling expertise for content aimed at Korean, Japanese, or Southeast Asian audiences specifically.
APAC Film & TV Production Tax Incentives: Complete Guide
APAC now has a genuine incentive arms race — several markets have raised rebate rates in 2025-2026 specifically to capture production volume shifting away from a contracting Chinese import market.
Key Stat
Up to 50%
Japan’s cash rebate reaches up to 50% of local production and post costs, with a new 2026 update introducing multi-year subsidies of up to two years — among the highest and most stable incentive structures in APAC.
Japan and Indonesia’s 50% rebates now lead the region, while Australia’s dual Producer/Location Offset structure remains the most established framework for large-scale international shoots. For comparative benchmarking, see our top production houses in Asia directory.
2026 Trends: Streaming Commissioning & the Southeast Asia Shift
Streaming platforms are treating APAC as a unified commissioning bloc. Netflix, Prime Video, Disney, and Warner Bros. Discovery executives at the 2026 APOS conference publicly framed Asian IP and local storytelling as a global asset class, not a regional afterthought. Netflix’s Southeast Asia commissioning hit a quarterly record of 18 titles in Q1 2026, while Northeast Asia (Korea + Japan) reached 29 titles the same quarter.
Southeast Asia is emerging as the next growth frontier as China’s domestic box office share exceeded 80% in 2025, effectively contracting the market for foreign imports. Indonesia’s new Jakarta incentive and Netflix’s six-film Jakarta commitment are concrete early evidence of production volume shifting toward Southeast Asia rather than China.
Australia’s soundstage capacity continues expanding to capture international productions — Shadowbox Studios’ planned Yatala facility and new Pinnacle Studios builds reflect the Gold Coast’s ambition to become one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest studio concentrations.

Why is Southeast Asia becoming a bigger APAC production hub?
