ABSTRACT
The global digital media entertainment market continues to go from strength to strength in 2016.
This highly competitive industry sector is flourishing on the back of improved mobile and
broadband infrastructure and consumers continuing to embrace entertainment services such as
gaming, social media, video streaming and music. The gaming sector in particular has become
very competitive with some consolidation occurring and previously successful game developers
such as Zynga beginning to struggle. Mobile gaming has become the key growth area and
Nintendo is currently leading the charge with the launch of its Pokemon Go game, based on
augmented reality. In terms of social media, Facebook continues to dominate on a global level
and video streaming continues to grow and place pressure on bandwidth around the world. The
digital music sector is witnessing the rise of streaming music and it now accounts for around half
of all digital music revenues.
This BuddeComm report provides a global overview of the key areas for entertainment on mobile
and fixed Internet. It includes information and statistics on social networks, app stores, photo
messaging, online and mobile gambling and gaming and digital music. Please note: Mobile TV is
covered in a separate report.
