Global Media Industry Guide provides top-line qualitative and quantitative summary information including: industry size (value 2013-17, and forecast to 2022). The profile also contains descriptions of the leading players including key financial metrics and analysis of competitive pressures within the industry.

Key Highlights:

The global media industry had total revenues of $892.0bn in 2017, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4% between 2013 and 2017.

The broadcasting & cable TV segment was the industry's most lucrative in 2017, with total revenues of $450.6bn, equivalent to 50.5% of the industry's overall value.

The US has by far the largest media industry globally, accounting for over a third of global revenues in 2017.
