Sector performance
In 2024, high-profile sports and entertainment transactions,
along with innovative collaborations, drove significant growth
across the sector. Sports franchises and leagues saw recordbreaking valuations, with investors increasingly drawn to media
rights, streaming opportunities, and global fan engagement.
The gaming industry continued its rapid evolution, with
deeper integration across gaming, film, and music reshaping
content creation and audience engagement. Meanwhile, rising
data privacy concerns and regulatory pressures underscored
the need for innovation and adaptability to remain competitive
in this dynamic landscape.
