Overall, the global entertainment and media industry region is expected to grow at 5.7% annually for the next five years to reach USD2.1-trillion. "Global spending on entertainment and media (E&M) rose 4.9 percent in 2011 - a little faster than the 4.5 percent increase in 2010, but still below gains in previous growth years," notes PWC. "This reflected a hoped-for pickup in economic momentum that did not materialize consistently around the globe, and we expect E&M growth to continue to lag nominal GDP growth, principally because of the ongoing shift from higher-priced physical distribution to lower-priced digital distribution.
