Key Investment Drivers
There are few long-term growth catalysts that underlie the market expansion:
Increased technological advancement: The spread of high-speed internet and improvements in streaming technology have changed the way people experience entertainment, with services like Netflix, Hulu and Disney+ making on-demand streaming mainstream by letting users watch any headline at any device location at any time.
This has been mainly due to the widespread adoption of smart devices; with smartphones and tablets, entertainment is literally at one’s fingertips, fuelling growth in mobile apps for games as well as movies and music that can be accessed even while on-the-go.
Immersive technologies: Virtual and augmented reality technologies unleash immersion in entertainment, with innovations driving gaming, virtual concerts, and interactive storylines that enable users to engage content through new pathways.
Change in consumer behaviour: Consumers are demanding more personalised entertainment experiences, and platforms are employing data analytics and AI algorithms to recommend the content associated with user preferences in order to create a better experience tailored specifically for them making the market size larger.
Subscription-based models Similar to streaming services, subscription-based models (gaming platforms) have reached new heights in popularity; the ability to pay a small flat monthly fee for all-you-can-watch or all-you-can-play access means that consumers can make fewer individual purchases (or rentals).
Although data privacy and content licensing are hurdles — including high-profile breaches, the abuse of personal data, and regulatory frameworks like GDPR and CCPA that have increased companies’ need for compliance — the industry is addressing these challenges with diversified routes to monetization and significant investments in cyber security.
