MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT SECTOR TO TOUCH $ 25 BILLION BY 2015




                   Growing digitization, media consumption and improving demographics will drive up the revenue of the domestic media and entertainment (M & E) industry to over USD 25 Billion by 2015 from USD 16.3 Billion in 2010, according to Ernst & Young India Report.

                  The E&Y Report, “Spotlight on India’s entertainment economy” released said a surge in mass broadband adoption is expected (with the launch of 3G and 4G Services) soon.

                  “By 2015, 90 percent of the projected 187 million broadband subscribers will access the Net through wireless devices, giving global M&E companies with exciting opportunities to develop anytime, anywhere content, according to the report. The Domestic M&E Industry has been, and will continue to be, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the favorable demographics,” according to Ernst & Young India Media & Entertainment Leader for Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, Farokh Balsara.

                  Having one of the world’s youngest populations, high volumes of content consumption, a favorable regulatory framework and growing digital adoption, makes India an attractive investment destination for global media and entertainment companies.

                  According to report, the growth of the US and Western European Companies are linked to India and other emerging markets. The country has over 600 Television Channels, 100 Million pay-television households, 70,000 newspapers and produces over 1,000 films annually.
