Sony Pictures Entertainment (#SPE) CEO Tony Vinciquerra has stated that anime streaming service Crunchyroll will be the primary growth driver for the company over the next few years. The company, known for its movies, games, and music businesses, is also an anime powerhouse with Aniplex and Crunchyroll , which have 13 million subscribers globally. The anime market is expected to double to US$60 billion by 2030, with #Crunchyroll expanding in #SoutheastAsia and India through #Amazon Channels. #Sony does not have a general entertainment streaming service and believes its status as an independent content provider is a strength as technological change roils the industry.
