The value of the mass media market decreased further to slightly under EUR four billion in 2014.
 
It was around EUR 140 million or three per cent less than in the year before, according to Statistics Finland’s data.
 
Electronic media, however, grew by three per cent.
 
The highest relative growth was observed in web advertising, which grew by 11 per cent.
 
The share of electronic media in mass media markets has doubled during this millennium from 18 per cent to 36 per cent, the statistics show.
 
Publishing activities went down by five per cent from the year before.
 
The value of the electronic media market has nearly doubled over the past ten years. The value of publishing activities and of recording markets, in particular, has been declining clearly for several years.
 
Nearly one-fifth of the value of recording markets vanished. The video recording markets declined by around one-third and sound recording sales decreased by 14 per cent.
 
The collapse in the sales of video recordings is probably explained by video on-demand services, like Netflix, rapidly becoming more common.
