The Media Industry Landscape in 2025

By 2029, global media and entertainment revenue is projected to reach £2.59 trillion. With this growth, media companies face exiting opportunities and complex challenges.

Platform Competition

Social video platforms offer algorithmically optimised content that competes directly with traditional media for audience attention and advertising revenue.

Revenue Diversification

Advertising growth significantly outpaces consumer spending growth, requiring new monetisation strategies (6.1% compound annual growth rate / CAGR vs 2%)

Speed Requirements

Breaking news and viral content demand instant scalability and real-time performance monitoring across all digital channels.
