1、A media and entertainment sector perspective home.kpmg/in April 2020 https:/home.kpmg/in/covid-19 COVID-19: The many shades of a crisis Foreword The COVID-19 pandemic began at a time of increasing global economic vulnerability. There were already genuine concerns of falling consumption levels and in

2、vestment alongside rising unemployment. Brexit and the U.S-China trade war hadnt helped and there was a palpable sense of uncertainty. Most indicators now suggest that some of the largest economies stand on the precipice of the greatest real recession in nearly 100 years. As far-fetched as it seems

3、right now though, there will be a recovery and people are already asking: how different will the post-COVID-19 era be from the one we knew earlier? The most tangible effect we see is on technology adoption and general versatility with digital commerce and content. We anticipate a considerable accele

4、ration on both fronts for individuals and businesses, which should hopefully do as much for financial inclusion and e-governance, as for streaming services. There has been a perceptible increase in media consumption TV, digital and gaming especially during the last few weeks as people have remained

5、homebound. Monetisation of this trend could prove challenging however, as the media and entertainment sector in India derives a majority of its revenues from the advertising spend of other industries. The recessionary impact on FMCG, financial services, automotive and e-commerce, therefore could hav

6、e a knock- on effect. On the other hand, subscription revenues for the sector could improve over the medium term, as people are exposed and get accustomed to a greater variety of content during this lockdown period. This is predicated on new content being available quickly once the restrictions are

7、lifted, which as per our analysis should correct with a lag of one to four weeks. The segments most affected by the lockdown have been those that rely on a social gathering of people films and events and the recovery here might take longer than anticipated. Certain sections of consumers particularly

8、 those residing in COVID-19 hotspots for example are likely to remain apprehensive of crowds and display a preference for at-home media and entertainment options over outdoor experiences. More generally, there could be a shifting of priorities as we progress to a new normal; the balance between work

9、 and family, wealth and well-being might be re-evaluated with leisure of which media and entertainment is a large part playing a greater role in our lives.

18、E sector perspective The media and entertainment (M&E) sector in India was estimated at INR1,631 billion in FY19 and grew at a compounded annual growth rate of 11.5 per cent over five-year period FY15-FY194. This was against an overall rate of growth in the countrys GDP at 7 .2 per cent during the s

19、ame time5. Typically, media consumption has tended to be income inelastic. However, the current environment is unprecedented and could result in a dip in media consumption in the near term and importantly, a realignment in consumption models. During the lockdown however, certain segments of M&E are

20、seeing consumption growth, particularly in TV, gaming, digital and OTT6. On the other hand, outdoor consumption models films, events, theme parks etc. are witnessing a dramatic fall with social distancing norms in place. Further, most segments (except news related businesses) are unable to offer new

21、 content with production stalling across formats. Many segments of M&E also depend on contract employees/ freelance agents and hence the impact of the crisis on livelihoods in this sector is also considerable. Monetisation in the M&E sector is predominantly reliant on advertising, which has seen a m

22、ajor contraction. Overall ad-spend is determined by the performance of sectors such as FMCG, e-commerce, automotive, financial services, real estate etc., all of which currently face their own challenges and could therefore take time to recover. 03 | COVID-19: The many shades of a crisis There is st
