< Key Hightlight >

Leadership on the thematic screen of GlobalData’s music, film, and TV sector scorecard is divided between US and Chinese companies. The top 10 positions are divided equally between the two nations, although US-based companies (Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet) occupy the top three positions. 

Scope

This sector scorecard provides a top-down, comprehensive outlook for the key players in the music, film, and TV sector over the next two years, based on the key themes set to transform their industry landscape.

Key Highlights

Three Chinese companies follow them: online video platform iQiyi, film company Alibaba Pictures, and tech giant Tencent. Also in the top 10 are Tencent Music, whose apps include the popular QQ Music, and ByteDance, the company behind the global phenomenon, TikTok. These companies sit alongside the two other US companies in the top 10, Apple and Facebook.

Reasons to buy

Companies that invest in the right themes become success stories; those that miss the big themes end up as failures. Given that so many themes are disruptive, it is very easy to be blindsided by industry outsiders that invade your sector. 

To help our clients gain a competitive advantage, we have developed GlobalData’s thematic research ecosystem. This single, integrated global research platform provides an easy-to-use framework for tracking all themes across all companies in all sectors. 

This report is a sector scorecard, which identifies those companies most likely to succeed in a world filled with disruptive threats.
