Music, Film, and TV Sector Scorecard Q1 2024 Update - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

Amazon retains its lead on the thematic screen of GlobalData’s music, film, and TV sector scorecard. Since the last quarter, Tencent has fallen from second position to fifth as Netflix, Disney, and Apple climbed to second, third, and fourth places, respectively.

The video streaming theme is witnessing intense competition as companies aim to increase audience share and profitability. In Q1 2024, Disney merged its Star India service with Reliance-owned Viacom18 in a deal worth $8.5 billion. The new entity will boast a wide range of content, spanning films and TV shows, news, and sports (especially cricket) content. It will also be a prime beneficiary in India’s internet advertising market. In November 2023, Disney took full control of Hulu by acquiring Comcast's 33% stake for $8.6 billion, strengthening its position in the US.
