Global Digital Media - The Unstoppable Video Streaming, TV and Entertainment IndustriesNEW YORK, July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The global digital media entertainment market continues to go from strength to strength in 2015. This highly competitive industry sector is flourishing on the back of improved mobile and broadband infrastructure and consumers continue to embrace being entertained and connected via gaming, social media, video streaming and music. Advertising models are expanding in order to capture revenue from an industry where direct revenue-generating business models are not well received by the broader public. Key developments: In 2015 the number of apps available from the Apple, Google and Amazon app has reached around 3 million. Mobile TV is a key growth area for global mobile entertainment for at least the next five years. The revenue derived from global digital music sales has finally equalled the amount derived from physical formats. Nintendo's proposed entry into the mobile gaming market in 2015 may certainly shake-up this emerging sector and increase competition significantly. Online video advertising is one of the key digital advertising growth areas - and spending on this medium is currently growing at around 20% per annum. In 2015 Netflix has over 60 million subscribers to its service globally – however the majority are still in the US. Five countries – China, USA, India, Japan, and Brazil – together account for nearly 60% of the world's digital TV households. The market for 4K TV sets and content has started to gather serious pace. IPTV operators in Japan and Korea are expanding their IPTV offerings to include games, e-books and shopping. The market for on-demand audiovisual services in Europe is developing rapidly. Revenue streams will shift in North America due to the ongoing migration of viewing habits from satellite and cable TV to online and on-demand content.
