Introduction
The media and entertainment industry is evolving at an incredible pace, and IBC 2025, held from 12–15 September in Amsterdam, once again provided an ideal forum for exploring the Media and Entertainment ecosystem where streaming, media, and technology intersect.
Industry Trends Observed at IBC 2025
Walking the show floor, engaging with customers, and observing industry trends reinforced a few clear insights:
- AI is becoming the backbone of media operations. Many booths, panels, and conversations echoed the view that efficiency, automation, and AI-driven decision-making are no longer optional, they are essential.
- Engagement is evolving into interaction. Audiences expect more than content; they want connection. Real-time fan engagement, immersive interfaces, and hyper-personalization stood out as the new frontiers.
- Operational efficiency drives competitive advantage. With rising content costs, platforms are doubling down on automation, cloud-native architectures, and cross-platform consistency.
- AI moved into mainstream operations, with practical examples such as agent-based workflows, generative AI for content creation and curation, and intelligent system integration.
- Broadcasters and vendors reported increased engagement and partnerships at IBC 2025, reflecting strong industry collaboration and the growth of a vibrant media technology ecosystem.
- An emphasis on Sustainability through energy-efficient solutions, green broadcasting tech, and a commitment to reduced power consumption within studios and networks.
