Video, Gaming and Entertainment
Overview
This programme focuses on structural changes to the entertainment market (especially video, gaming and XR) and the impact of these changes on spend. We also monitor the changing role of all players, and operators in particular. We use in-depth market sizing and forecasting, primary research of consumer behaviour, strategic reports and case studies to help our clients to understand: the size, rate and direction of change in the video and gaming markets; the future role of operators and streaming providers; innovative solutions to challenges in content, technology and services.
