• Following a slow expansion in the economy during 2014, many European countries have continued on the road to recover also in 2015. Within this framework, the European TV market has performed unevenly, due to the deep disparities between the national markets in Europe.
• Advertising revenues represent the leading force in the TV market and are continuing the positive growth of the last two years.
• Instead, while still representing the largest slice of the market revenues, pay TV fails to recover, due to the ever increasing competition from online players and their aggressive price policies.

• In this context, the broadcasters are more consistenly entering the Internet world and developing new ways of supplying their content - as with the skinny bundles - to deal with the threat coming from OTT.
  

• Online advertising has become an important source of revenues in the advertising mix. Even the most relevant in some of the biggest countries.

 This and a lot more in the 14th Annual Report by ITMedia Consulting.    In 90 pages with data, tables and charts, the TV market value in Western Europe is analysed as a whole and also divided by revenue sources, audience share, advertising media mix, platforms distribution and multichannel sector. Part two presents thematic focuses on the main and fastest-growing trends.

The XII edition of ITMedia Consulting's Annual Report

16 September 2014

Table of contents

• Following a slow expansion of economic activity during 2013, however, much of Europe still struggling to recover from the impact of the 2008 financial crisis. Within this framework, the TV market performed unevenly across countries, finally managing to grow by a humble +0.4%.
• All around Western Europe, advertising spending has been hit by the economic slowdown. Also due to the absence of big TV events, Western European markets saw advertising revenues decline by 1.6% in 2013. While still representing the largest slice of the market revenues, pay TV kept its slowing pace, due to increasing competition from online players, aggressive discounting and cheaper double- and triple-play prices. In 2013 pay TV revenues grew by 1.5% compared to 2012.
• Current market trends are fundamentally changing the industry. The growth of traditional revenue streams is declining as new revenue models emerge. Internet content has entered the traditional TV screen which at the same time lost its role as unique possibility to consume audiovisual content at home. Attention is no longer focused on one screen only. Consumers demand full control over media experiences and unrestricted access anywhere, any time and on any device

• The response of many to date has been to launch video over IP services that have been defensive or ‘me too’ plays,with only limited integration or ability to exploit synergies with existing video delivery platforms. But future success requires much more than integrating the traditional content supply chain into various digital channels. To go further, traditional providers must develop new –and very different –digital capabilities

Indice

• L’Europa, e in particolare la zona euro, stanno attraversando una prolungata crisi. Come ogni altro settore, anche la TV ha sofferto a causa del contesto economico, e nel 2012 il mercato televisivo è cresciuto di un modesto 0.9%, raggiungendo un valore di €95 miliardi
• In seguito alla crisi di consumi e investimenti, i ricavi pubblicitari del settore sono scesi quasi del 4%, mentre la pay TV, pur rallentando, segna un +3.7%
• La digitalizzazione delle abitazioni europee continua senza sosta: alla fine del 2012 il 91% delle abitazioni TV in Europa occidentale riceveva la TV digitale
• Il settore televisivo, sia in chiaro che pay, sta emergendo da uno dei momenti più difficili della sua storia. Non solo la crisi economica ha drenato risorse, vi sono anche tendenze strutturali che minacciano di sopraffare gli operatori che non abbracceranno – e non accelereranno la propria trasformazione digitale verso un’era multipiattaforma e multischermo
