Recalibrating Media & Entertainment (M&E)
for a Brighter Future, Faster. Together.
The M&E Landscape
The Media and Entertainment(M&E) sector seamlessly merges cutting-edge IT solutions with the magic of storytelling, entertainment, and digital experiences. This classic synergy between technology and creativity has enabled the M&E industry to weather many a storm like the looming threat of a recession or the unexpected arrival of the pandemic.
Challenges and Needs
The M&E industry is at a crucial juncture now. The decelerating rate of growth (by 2027 M&E revenue will grow just 2.8% from 2026) is alarming and is changing the imperatives for industry leaders. It is time to confront the challenges hounding the M&E business and recalibrate strategies to drive growth.
Declining Consumer Spending
Expansion of Global OTT market
Shifting Priorities for Studios
Changing Regulatory Environment
Reset Expectations to Drive Growth
The challenges though with its tensions also bring along new opportunities. When the stakes are high, organizations need to build resilient business models that adapt to the evolving media landscape. To find the silver lining of growth, companies need to actively align with hotspots that would enable them to pivot and explore new revenue opportunities, stay relevant in the globalized market and offer innovative content.
Growth Hotspots

ad spend

US$1 trillion in annual revenue.

Taking M&E to the future, faster. Together
As the M&E industry goes through a transformative evolution, LTIMindtree has identified three fundamental pillars that have emerged essential for its survival, growth and relevance.
Achieving profitable growth in M&E requires strategic planning, innovation and adaptability to changing consumer behaviors and technological advancements. Reducing operational costs in the right areas can have a huge impact on the bottom line and can largely boost the enterprise value. Improving productivity and maintaining healthy profit margins will not only incur savings but enable organizations to diversify their revenue streams and invest in crucial creative segments.
Cost Optimization and Cybersecurity : Cornerstones of the M&E evolution
On the cusp of a new competitive phase, the M&E business is trying to profitably monetize their investment on streaming platforms and optimize their cost structures. While cost optimization efforts will drive efficiency, the decision makers need to astutely reinvest their cost savings to target areas of high ROI.
With the surge of rapid digitization of content and distribution platforms and rise of emerging tech, the M&E industry is a prime target for cyber attacks. The complex ecosystem with various stakeholders creates multiple entry points for cyber attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. Therefore, it is imperative that M&E organizations understand the urgency to implement robust cybersecurity protocols.
Safeguarding Content and Assets: Cybersecurity Solutions for M&E
As more and more cyberthreat actors emerge, the possibilities of security incidents like content leak or the theft of sensitive information are becoming more likely than ever in the M&E industry. An incident like a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack, data breach, or ransomware can not only lead to content theft and piracy directly impacting the revenues, but such incidents can often put a dent on a company’s brand reputation.
At LTIMindtree, we have extensive experience in transforming security operations for large M&E enterprises around the world.
