The Census reveals that the sector’s fastest growing revenue stream – international – reached £1,251 million, a 30% increase on 2018.

Commissions from international linear TV services rose by £226 million in 2019, accounting for the majority of growth, whilst revenue generated by commissions from SVOD services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime grew again, reaching £337 million.
