The Key Trends section is THE analysis and intelligence section of the Yearbook Online Service and provides you with an overview of the recent key trends of the audiovisual sector.


This section is new in the Yearbook Online Service and has been published for the first time for the 2015 edition.
Consequently the section Key Trends is NOT available for the Yearbook Online Service 2014.


The section is based on the Data Sets and shows the main developments that can be traced across Europe. It includes as well valuable insights on legal issues contributed by the Observatory’s department for Legal Information on topics such as the AVMSD, cinema, copyright or freedom of expression.

The Key Trends section of the Yearbook Online Service is also available as a standalone publication and can be purchased independently from the Yearbook Online Service.
This publication is available in electronic format (PDF) and as a printed booklet. More information is available in the Observatory’s
online shop.
