Global entertainment and media had a strong year outpacing global economic growth. Revenues were USD 2.3 trillion last year, virtual reality grew 36% and esport will become a USD 324 billion business, consultancy PwC says in an outlook for 2022 – 2026.

“Following a pandemic-related 2.3% decline in 2020, E&M revenue rose a strong 10.4% in 2021, from USD 2.12 trillion to USD 2.34 trillion.
