Summary
According to the latest edition of our TV and video market observatory, we expect the existing signs that the TV market is slowing worldwide to begin to accentuate in 2022, as growth in emerging countries is no longer able to offset the inexorable decline of pay-TV in the most mature markets, and especially in the US and the EU-5. At the same time, the OTT juggernaut is not likely to lose steam, and is forecast to account for a quarter of the sector’s revenue in 2023.
Our twice-yearly observatory delivers detailed figures and an analysis of the driving trends, along with a dataset and concise summary report.
This latest edition includes several new additions, and now covers the latest developments in 49 countries and 11 regions and sub-regions, along with a consolidated global snapshot.
The dataset provides figures back to 2015 and forecasts up to 2023 for the key indicators used to track the TV and video sector.
The report provides an analysis of the main market trends and the developments to watch in the coming months and years.
