The industry is located throughout several major production centers like Lagos, Onitsha, Enugu, Asaba, and Abuja.  Nollywood was valued at $3.6 billion in 2016 and is projected to be worth $6.4 billion by 2021. The music sector also recorded significant growth over the years. 

According to PwC Global Entertainment and Media Outlook for 2020-2024, Nigeria’s media and entertainment industry is one of the fastest growing creative industries in the world.  It has the potential to become the country’s greatest export, with projected annual growth rate of 8.6% and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3% from 2018-2023.

The country’s television and video market grew by 7.49% to $806 million in 2020, up from $732 million in 2018. The industry is projected to earn about $900 million in 2023.

    After I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me
    when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I receive 4 emails with
    the exact same comment. Is there a way you can remove
    me from that service? Thanks!

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required
    to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice
    would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
