## Key points

- Non-English titles made up 65% of Netflix acquisitions.
- They accounted for half of Disney+ acquisitions.
- Japanese and Korean content remain underdistributed internationally.

## Summary

Non-English-language titles made up at least half of acquisitions by Netflix and Disney+ by September, challenging the idea that global streamers are overlooking them. Ampere Analysis says Japanese, South Korean, French and Turkish content offer strong opportunities for international licensing because demand is high while availability across borders remains limited.

Non-English titles accounted for 65% of Netflix’s acquisitions and 50% of Disney+’s. Japan and South Korea led Netflix’s source markets, while German and Japanese content topped Disney+’s list. Only 40% of Japanese streaming content is available worldwide, and just 45% of South Korean titles are available beyond domestic streaming services; Ampere points to the Middle East and Southeast Asia as likely markets for South Korean romantic films and series.
