The television market in 2016 shows clear signs of recovery after a period of stagnation and profound crisis in the industry. Total revenues have increased thanks to additional revenue from licence fees, the growth of advertising and the slight recovery of the pay TV after a year of recession, mainly due to broadband offers.

The advertisement shows encouraging signs of recovery after a long period of recession and stagnation, thanks to a series of factors: the recovery of generalist channels (in particular Rai), thanks to the great attraction and popularity as the Olympics and European Football Championship events ; a better quality offer, also due to increased competition and consolidation of major international operators in the thematic channels markets on DTT; strong growth of online revenues. All this has resulted in a growth rate of around 6% in 2016, which allowed this resource to reach nearly 40% of total revenues, overtaking the pay-TV.

In 2016 the total market grew by a total of € 404 million, at a rate of over 5% compared to 2015.

• Nonostante la crisi economica, il mercato televisivo in Italia mostra ancora notevole dinamismo, destinato ad accentuarsi nei prossimi anni.
• Completata la fase di switch off, scende la quota del digitale terrestre a vantaggio della broadband TV.
• Nel 2013 il mercato TV continua la fase recessiva, con una riduzione delle risorse complessive del-4% rispetto al 2012. Nei due anni successivi, pur in crescita, il mercato rimarrà a livelli inferiori a quelli del 2008.

• La ripresa del settore sarà condizionata dalla congiuntura economica generale. La pubblicità non riuscirà a recuperare le perdite accumulate nel 2012, anche se dal 2014 crescerà a una media del 3,7% annuo
• Si assiste in generale a un trasferimento delle risorse sugli Altri Operatori, grazie soprattutto alle nuove offerte via broadband e allo sviluppo dei canali tematici nel digitale terrestre

• La pay-TV continua il suo lento declino, anche se nel 2015 riprenderà a salire, grazie soprattutto all’offerta broadband (OTT).
• Pur con la forte riduzione degli investimenti nel 2013, la pubblicità torna a distanziare la pay TV e a essere la prima risorsa del mercato a partire dal 2014.
