Market Dynamics

Animated content is seeing a lot of demand from different platforms, including television and cinema. Streaming services, such as Netflix and Disney+ has added greatly to this demand, pushing animation studios to produce original content. To add, younger audiences are responsible for a chunk of this demand, as more children are getting access to TVs and smartphones. On the other hand, creating high-quality animated content is an expensive task, requiring significant investments in technology, software, and talent. This can limit smaller studios from producing such content. The market also harbors a lot of competition, and established players can make it difficult for new entrants to make their place in the market. Nevertheless, virtual and augmented reality technologies will create new avenues for players to explore.
