Methodology: a rigorous approach
This report provides development scenarios for the TV and video sector up to 2020, based on macro-economic scenarios that integrate hypotheses on the market environment, lifestyle and the networking individual, and by combining:
• analysis of the key development factors: usage, access, services, financing and market players
• construction of TV 2020 scenarios: IDATE shares its view of the expected development trajectory for each of the key issues. Their combination forms the basis of development scenarios for the TV sector as a whole.
• figures for the benchmark scenario: the scope of analysis includes developed countries, with figures for the benchmark scenario applying to the United States and Western Europe’s five main markets: Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the UK.
From scenario modelling to market figures
IDATE has identified 20 factors, broken down into 5 categories, which will shape the TV sector’s evolution. The combination of the expected development path for each factor allows us to establish exclusive scenarios – one of which IDATE has selected as the benchmark scenario, for which figures are provided. The impact and scope of these developments allow us to paint a detailed view of the future state of the television market, and to provide users with a set of benchmark figures, market data and national forecasts up to 2020.:
