Major broadcasters ressources stagnating Challenged by multiple children channels with limited resources to invest in original programming New on-demand services are potential new outlets for animation, but only in the medium term, and not necessarily as pre-financing New Asian players moving from sub-contracting to co-production can be an opportunity to expand beyond the Euroepan market… but also a challenge to retain IP rights.
Pre-financing under pressure
![Page 15: Trends in the animation industry](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58ef30c61a28ab92188b4595/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Investing in (and retaining) IP
Building (or reviving) strong brands is more important than ever, and at an early stage Broadcasters and producers, otherwise partners, may increasingly compete for the control of IPs. Internet brings also new opportunities for producers and rights holders: distributing directly to the consumers, growing Brands…

Invest in the development of brands
Improve pre-financing and distribution
Recoup the investment in production facilities
Overpass the reluctance of private equity
Develop IP management skills
A rationale for scale ?
