Liza Foreman The global TV and streaming market is estimated to be worth $700 billion globally in 2023, with $164 billion earmarked for investment in programming, according to a Mipcom presentation last Wednesday by Omdia research analyst Tim Westcott. The $700 billion figure is based on combined revenues from advertising, subscription and public revenue, Westcott told audiences gathered at the leading TV confab. The figure is up 77% from $394 billion total in 2010.
The results are part of research, soon to be published, by Omdia on the global programming market, Westcott told Variety, following the 30-minute event. “We have estimated the size of the TV programming market worldwide,” he said. “We did this research from the ground up, estimating spending by broadcasters, channels and platforms in 119 countries.
Importantly, we are looking at commissioning spend, and of course a lot of the deficit between this spend and total production value is being financed by producers and distributors.” From this $700 billion global tally, online subscriptions are expected to make up 47% of the total compared to 45% in 2010; advertising accounts for 48%, compared to 45% in 2010; public revenues will drop to 5% from 10% in 2010, the report said. America represents 43% of this figure, with Asia and Oceania accounting for 25% and Western Europe 18%. In the U.S., programming investments are down by only 1% from 2022, according to Omdia.
“In terms of growth overall, investment is now fairly stable. In 2023, we expect worldwide spend to go up overall 1 percent from the year before,” he said. “The streamers have been thebig driver of growth and programming spend over the past 5-10 years, especially Netflix.
