Country-Specific Industry Resource

 M&E Industry Resource Guides 2021 [16,842MB]

The Media & Entertainment team curated country-specific industry resource guides (Guides) for each of the sub-sectors: Music, Filmed Entertainment & Streaming, Video Games, and Publishing. The Guides in the 2021 collection may not reflect every country of interest for every sub-sector. If you find that there is no Guide for your country and sector of interest, reach out to your local International Trade Specialist for information. Similarly, certain sectors are not the best prospects for various countries, so you may notice a variance in the detail of information available. Generally, the Guides serve as an introduction for U.S. clients to international markets. The Guides summarize the sector market, market demand, market competition, intellectual property considerations, and provide information regarding upcoming trade events. Although the Guides provide a general road-map for exporting and expanding to international markets, the Guides are not all-encompassing. The U.S. Commercial Service International Trade Specialists and Commercial Specialists are the true experts for country-specific market intelligence. For detailed information, and assistance in reaching new markets, find your local experts here.
