The Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM) 2025 successfully concluded its 4-day journey, further cementing its position as Asia’s premier global business platform.

This year’s edition set a new record with 30,006 visitors, marking a 13.5% increase from last year, underscoring its continued growth. The scale of participation also reached new heights, recording 1,222 companies and 3,024 industry professionals from 55 countries, reflecting a 14.37% increase compared to the previous year.

Celebrating its 20th edition, ACFM introduced three notable initiatives in response to the rapidly evolving content industry: InnoAsia, a platform exploring the convergence of cutting-edge technology and content; The A, a report and summit offering insights into the Asian film industry; and Doc Square, an international hub for the documentary ecosystem. These programs received enthusiastic feedback and wide acclaim from participants, offering new directions for the future of the content industry.

At the Producer Hub, which spotlighted Canada as this year’s Focus Country, 154 active producers from 25 countries engaged in dynamic international networking. In addition, 289 companies from 31 countries showcased exhibition booths, representing the diversity and global reach of ACFM as a leading content marketplace.
