According to UnivDatos, Middle East Media and Entertainment market is expected to register a CAGR of approx. 7.5% over the period of 2022-2028. The media and entertainment sector in the Middle East is going through a major change. Young people in the region have undergone significant cultural change, and the unmet demand for local Arabic content will propel regional media to expand dramatically. Additionally, the widespread use of mobile technologies has generated huge prospects for media outlets. Furthermore, changes in paid and digital media have given rise to new justifications for investments. These shifts offer global players, in particular, a reason to reevaluate their presence in the region and give regional media players a chance to reset their business models and explore investments in high-quality local content.
