The launch takes place in four countries where major international competitors are either not available at all, or only with a very limited catalogue, and where local providers are unable to match the www.pantaflix.com program catalogue. At the same time, these territories show a massive growth in VoD content purchase on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. For example, Indonesia, with 258 million inhabitants, is one of the five most populated countries in the world. And with 42 % of its population under the age of 25 it has a growing generation, with a changed expectation of the digital availability of content such as films. These new consumer patterns represent a tectonic shift in entertainment revenue streams, enabling potential annual double-digit percentage revenue growth. Dan Maag, CEO of PANTAFLIX and PANTALEON Entertainment AG explains: " We are right before the end of the beta phase in December and the commercial availability of our platform. Accordingly, it is time to start the international roll-out. Pantaflix.com is an innovative product designed for users around the world. Our goal is to achieve global availability already in 2017." www.pantaflix.com is also set to launch in numerous other international territories soon. About pantaflix.com: pantaflix.com is an innovative and cloud-based Video-on-Demand (VoD) platform, which for the first time enables filmmakers and rights owners to market their productions to a worldwide audience in over 240 territories with just a few clicks. By eliminating the middlemen, pantaflix.com offers immediate market access to the exploitation chain. 75 percent of sales go straight to the producer, 25 percent to pantaflix.com. Thus, producers receive up to 7.5 times as much revenue as from traditional platforms. In 2015, worldwide VoD sales totalled 11.2 billion Euros, a sum which is expected to double by 2020, as viewing habits change permanently - away from linear broadcast TV to flexible VoD services, including on mobile digital devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. Thanks to its innovative approach, pantaflix.com has the potential for above-average growth in this market.
