In 2022, Vidio is the largest video on demand service provider in Indonesia, beating Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and Amazon Prime Video.[3]

History

Vidio was founded on 15 October 2014 and aimed to be the YouTube for Indonesians.[4] Originally, Vidio's content was dominated by user-generated content and TV content from Emtek's media outlets. In 2015, Vidio had about 3,000 to 4,000 monthly active users.[5][6]

Emtek's total investment in Vidio as of March 2019 reached IDR 240 billion. Surya Citra Media plans to take over Vidio at a price of IDR 115 billion.[7] After producing 3 original series in 2019, Vidio began to release more original series on Vidio Premier, their premium subscription service, dubbed as "Vidio Originals" in 2020. In the same year, Vidio had 40 million active users.[8]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the platform saw 225% growth and records more than 5 million downloads in App Store and Play Store.[9][10]

Vidio is a broadcaster of Premier League from 2022 to 2025.[11]

After Fox Sports Asia ceased operation in October 2021, Emtek acquired the rights to broadcast Formula One for the remainder of 2021 and 2022 season.[12] The races were broadcast in Champions TV 4 (which included in Vidio's premium subscription)[13] and Free-To-Air on Emtek's Moji.

Vidio was also the official broadcaster of 2022 FIFA World Cup.
