Market Overview

The entertainment content and goods market includes digital and physical content such as films, television, music, video games, live events, books, and a wide range of associated consumer goods including merchandise, collectibles, toys, and apparel.

By 2030, the global entertainment content and goods market is projected to benefit from increased internet penetration, mobile device adoption, and the globalization of content distribution.
