The film and music market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $469.7 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%.

The expansion of newer distribution platforms, including Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), Direct-to-Home (DTH), and online platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo, is a significant driver of growth in the film and music market. The adoption of these platforms facilitates the digitization of TV, resulting in improved sound and picture quality for viewers and increased revenues across the value chain. This digital transformation also provides broadcasters with additional bandwidth to offer value-added services, ultimately contributing to revenue growth. Furthermore, the implementation of digital production techniques in the film industry has led to cost reductions in processing and storage. Digital distribution and exhibition methods have not only enhanced picture quality but also shortened the release window. These factors collectively contribute to the positive trajectory of the market's growth during the forecast period.

The film and music market is set to experience substantial growth, driven by the proliferation of subscription-based streaming platforms. These platforms, which deliver audio and video content over the Internet to various devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, or smart TVs in real-time, have revolutionized the music and television industries. Streaming services simplify the dissemination of art for artists and media providers, expanding their reach to a larger audience. Additionally, streaming platforms create new revenue streams, provide real-time audience reaction statistics, and offer enhanced access to a diverse range of music, performers, and TV series. Notably, data from December 2022, as reported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, indicates that the global number of music streaming service customers in the first quarter of 2021 reached 487 million. This surge in subscription-based streaming platforms underscores their pivotal role in driving the growth of the film and music market.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in 2019 and significantly impacted global business operations, served as a substantial constraint for certain segments of the film and music markets in 2020. The pandemic, characterized by flu-such as symptoms such as fever, cough, and breathing difficulties, prompted widespread lockdowns imposed by governments worldwide. The initial identification of the virus in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, led to its global spread, affecting regions including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Government measures to curb transmission, including lockdowns, resulted in reduced economic activity and restricted movement of goods and services. While some businesses faced negative consequences, many in the media markets were either unaffected or experienced benefits, transmitting content remotely through digital channels. The film and music market is anticipated to recover from the pandemic's impact over the forecast period, considering it as a 'black swan' event, unrelated to inherent weaknesses in the market or the global economy.

Film and music production companies are increasingly embracing motion capture technology to mitigate costs associated with keyframe-based animations. Motion capture involves recording live motion events and translating them into actionable data, enabling a 3D recreation of the performance. Performers wearing reflective markers on their bodies have their movements interpreted by a computer, resulting in digital 3D models. This technology provides real-time results more efficiently, reducing the expenses associated with keyframe animation. Several recent blockbuster films, including Avengers, Captain America, Beauty and the Beast, Guardians, and Iron Man, have successfully incorporated motion capture technology.

Major players in the TV and radio broadcasting market are strategically engaging in collaborations to enhance their offerings and better serve their existing consumer base.

This collaboration focuses on the creation of music documentaries and narrative programming.

The content initiatives resulting from this collaboration will encompass productions in both English and local languages, with particular attention given to Warner Music Group's internationally acclaimed performers, spanning regions such as Asia, the U.S., and Latin America. This strategic collaboration reflects a commitment to leveraging collective strengths and resources to deliver compelling content to diverse audiences.
