Europe Television Market Outlook, 2028
European countries have a strong tradition of public service broadcasting, where national broadcasters funded by license fees or government subsidies provide a wide range of programming to inform, educate, and entertain the public. Public broadcasters like BBC (United Kingdom), ARD and ZDF (Germany), France Televisions (France), RAI (Italy), and RTÉ (Ireland) are renowned for their high-quality news, documentaries, dramas, and cultural programming. Furthermore, Sports play a significant role in European television culture. Football (soccer) is the most popular sport, and major tournaments like the UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup attract large viewership. Many European countries have dedicated sports channels and comprehensive coverage of various sports, including rugby, cricket, tennis, and Formula 1. Moreover, Europe has seen a significant rise in streaming platforms and on-demand services. Platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ are popular, offering a wide range of international and local content. Collaborative co-productions involving multiple European countries have allowed for the pooling of resources, talent, and creative ideas, resulting in high-quality series that resonate with audiences globally. The success of European dramas like Borgen, Money Heist, and Dark has attracted a wider international audience and generated interest in European content.
According to the research report, “Europe Television Market Outlook, 2028” published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to add more than USD 4.15 Billion from 2023 to 2028. Traditional broadcasters are exploring hybrid models that combine linear TV with on-demand and digital services. Many broadcasters are launching their own streaming platforms or partnering with existing OTT providers to offer a hybrid viewing experience. This approach allows broadcasters to cater to the changing viewing habits of audiences while maintaining their presence in both traditional and digital spaces. Furthermore, live events, such as sports, awards shows, and reality TV competitions, continue to attract large viewership and engagement in Europe. Viewers actively participate in real-time discussions on social media, enhancing the sense of community and sharing experiences. Broadcasters are integrating interactive features, live voting, and social media interactions to enhance viewer engagement during live events. Furthermore, European broadcasters and content creators are exploring the potential of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. VR and AR offer immersive experiences that go beyond traditional viewing, allowing viewers to engage with content in new and interactive ways. From VR documentaries to AR-enhanced sports broadcasts, these technologies are being utilised to enhance storytelling and viewer engagement.
Full-HD televisions played a significant role in the transition from standard-definition to high-definition viewing in Europe. They provided a substantial upgrade in picture quality, allowing viewers to enjoy sharper and more detailed images compared to traditional standard-definition TVs. Furthermore, Full HD resolution is the standard for broadcasting and streaming high-definition content in Europe. Many TV channels, streaming platforms, and Blu-ray discs are optimised for Full HD playback, ensuring that viewers can enjoy their favourite shows, movies, and other content in high definition. Moreover, Full HD televisions are well-suited for a variety of room sizes. They offer a good balance between screen size and pixel density, providing an immersive viewing experience without compromising on image quality. Whether in bedrooms, living rooms, or smaller home theatres, Full HD TVs can deliver impressive visuals. In addition, 4K UHD TVs have gained significant popularity in Europe over the past few years. They offer four times the resolution of Full HD, providing an incredibly sharp and detailed viewing experience. Furthermore, 4K UHD TVs are particularly popular among gamers in Europe. Many gaming consoles, such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, support 4K gaming. The higher resolution allows for more detailed graphics, while features like high refresh rates and low input lag enhance the gaming experience.
The world's oldest television station, Fernsehsender Paul Nipkow, began broadcasting experimental television programmes in Berlin, Germany, in 1935. It was the first regular television service to transmit images using the Nipkow disc, an early mechanical scanning device. Furthermore, Germany is known for popular TV formats that have been adapted and localised in other countries. One of the best-known examples is Wetten, dass..? (Wanna Bet?), a long-running entertainment show where contestants make unusual bets. It gained significant popularity in Germany and was later adapted in several other countries. Moreover, German television has had a significant cultural impact, especially in the field of comedy. Shows like Loriot and Die Sendung mit der Maus (The Programme with the Mouse) have become cultural touchstones, beloved by generations of viewers. These shows have shaped German comedy and influenced comedic storytelling in the country. In addition, public service broadcasting has been a significant part of the UK television landscape. The BBC, funded by a licence fee paid by viewers, operates several channels and provides a wide range of programming, including news, drama, documentaries, and entertainment. The BBC's commitment to public service and high-quality content has shaped the television industry in the UK.
