What is the IABM Industry Index?
The IABM Industry Index is published each quarter and tracks aggregate sales and operational profit trends across the broadcast and media technology sector, based on latest reported financial performance. Through this, member companies are able to benchmark their own performance with the sector and region, and track emerging trends.
No individual company data is published, and the identity of companies in the sample is not declared. The information is derived from both published financial returns and via individual non-disclosure arrangements with selected private companies. Mergers, acquisitions, public offerings and other factors require the sample to be adjusted from time to time, but we ensure a representative sample is included with sufficient data for statistically robust conclusions.
Please note that the full index data is only made available to IABM member companies and so you must be logged in to view the Full Reports.
