Media industry M&A - statistics & facts
Companies and services in media are on track for further consolidation and big moves in 2025. Despite the recent drop in merger and acquisition numbers, the impact of future deals is expected to grow and significantly transform the industry landscape. Analysts forecast that the coming transactions will focus on streaming bundles in response to growing subscription fatigue of consumers and on consolidation in the linear TV business due to the declining of the pay TV segment. Additionally, falling inflation and lower interest rates are expected to facilitate dealmaking in 2025. Advertising will be driving the changes too.
