However, revenue generation in the media and entertainment (M&E) industry is restricted to a certain extent due to high piracy rates and lower profit margins through online streaming. However, developments in cybersecurity laws and tightening legal actions against piracy are expected to reduce the losses for the players. This is also likely to encourage new players to enter the online streaming business.

Easy access to an evolving and increasingly varied audience through platforms such as TV and internet streaming has also encouraged new talents to come up. Increased adoption of mobile communication and the internet in countries such as China, South Korea, and India drives the progress of movies and entertainment in emerging markets. The lucrativeness of these emerging markets is further driven by the stagnation in mature markets such as the U.S.
