Free or cheap market / state of industry overviews for EU / Europe?
July 25, 2011 1:21 PM Subscribe
Can you help me find some free or modestly-priced online reports on the state of the publishing, recorded music, film + photo agencies / picture archives industries in the EU?
The types of industries you might call media / publishing content creation and supply chain...?
I'm interested in market research but I think what I am seeking more precisely might be a "state of the industry" report, detailing numbers and sizes of companies, typical supply/value chains, economic size of industry sub-sectors.
The countries are all EU countries plus any "other European" - ideally I'd like a fairly detailed breakdown.
It would be great if this sort of thing could be sourced from a publically funded or industry-wide funded research institute so it might be freely available...!
I'm hoping to use it for a piece of publically-funded research so the value will go back into society (also hence I want to keep it cheap).
Posting anon as I realise I may be looking for commercial data, but I will MeMail anyone who seems worth contacting.
Thanks in advance!

Photo and stock/archival agencies tend to be global--ThoughtEquity sells BBC footage and news footage, for example. Associate Press reps Sky News footage. EPA, Getty and Corbis sell stills from all over. Historical archives are usually state-run, attached to museums or universities.

For film, here's the EC's info page of studies relating to the film/TV/cinema industry, however the slant is toward film preservation and exhibition across the EU rather than production: http://ec.europa.eu/avpolicy/info_centre/library/studies/index_en.htm
