The US media industry is one of the biggest media industries in the world and accounts for nearly a third of the global media industry itself. There is no doubt that the US movies and entertainment sector is the largest globally. However, the US media industry has witnessed undulating growth in recent years. Regulations remain stringent across all industry sectors, and their entry for new players is limited. Furthermore, piracy of video and music has had a massive impact on the industry lately. Streaming appears to be the latest trend that has been prevalent across the US digital music industry, and is expected to continue its edge over digital downloads in the coming years.

In the last few years, the astronomical rise of e-sports has been reshaping the industry, as is visible through its increasing worldwide fanbase and positive trends. As people have been increasingly confined indoors, exploring ways to make the most of their time, there has been massive growth in viewership and demographics in e-sports like CS:GO, Overwatch, Dota 2, Fortnite, and League of Legends – over Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and other streaming channels. The introduction of lite apps has powered a surge in mobile e-sports, bringing a myriad of exciting games to life. As 5G looks to transform download speeds, streaming capabilities, and real-time gameplay experiences, e-sports will enable gamers to bolster their experience without installing new infrastructure. Network slicing by 5G networks will ensure a smooth 3D AR experience for spectators in tournament areas, and allow instant replays on their devices.
