In this week’s edition of Comscore Snapshots, we look at lifestyle media in the Asia-Pacific region. Our analysis includes statistics for Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan.

Lifestyle media spans a wide range of topics. In this blog post we include online entities that focus on aspects of life such as beauty and fashion, dating, cooking, home decoration, DIY and architecture, religion and spirituality. Examples of such sites are listed in the table below.

Because it touches on so many topics, the lifestyle media reaches a large proportion of the digital population. This can be seen in the table below, where in some countries the reach exceeds 90%. 

For consumers, lifestyle media is a great way to navigate societal trends and stay abreast of news that impact their daily lives. For advertisers, it provides a vehicle to target highly engaged and well-defined audiences. As a result, the lifestyle media landscape is fairly fragmented and competitive.
