Music, Film, and TV Sector Scorecard - Thematic Research

Summary

As TV moves rapidly from scheduled programming to on-demand viewing, a fierce battle is raging in the media sector over who controls the customer relationship: content owners, TV broadcasters, or the tech titans. Music and video streaming services will strive to improve customer experience by using consumer data collected from cross-platform measurement systems. These platforms are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve recommendation engines and to make ads more personalized and targeted.

Advertisers are also trying to engage the younger generation by investing in short video apps. The media sector should be prepared for the impact of tighter copyright regulation, which will likely involve high compliance costs. Tax reform plans will come into place in 2020 designed to limit tax avoidance by large internet ecosystems.

This report provides information on key themes that will impact the music, film, and TV sector over the next two years, including internet TV, AI, short video apps, VR, AR, music streaming, and blockchain.

- However, many of these themes are, by definition, outside of the core competencies of company boardrooms because they typically originate from external industries.
