Music, Film, and TV Sector Scorecard - Thematic Intelligence
Summary

Leadership on the thematic screen of GlobalData’s music, film, and TV sector scorecard is divided between US and Chinese companies. Five out of the top 10 positions are held by Chinese companies (Alibaba Pictures, Tencent Music, iQiyi, Tencent, and Bilibili), but US-based companies (Amazon, Netflix, Apple, and Walt Disney) occupy the top four positions, with Alphabet ranked sixth.

Key Highlights

Amazon, Alphabet, Alibaba, iQiyi, Disney, Netflix, and Tencent are some of the biggest video streamers and spend heavily on content creation. For instance, Netflix will reportedly spend $17 billion on original content in 2023. But most streaming platforms run at a loss. The streamers' success is no longer guaranteed as the industry’s business model is broken. This means expensive content is not a determinant of subscriber growth. As streaming services lose their luster, the industry will see significant consolidation.
