The given graph illustrates changes
in spending on various modes of entertainment in three regions in 1995 and
2000.
Expenditure on entertaining
was highest in the USA in both the years, rising from $184 billion to $257
billion though Europe and Asia too registered a rise of 34 billion, from 97
billion to 131 billion, and 43 billion, from 67 billion to 110 billion,
respectively.
Quite striking fact was the
similarity in percentage of money spent on various modes: television and
publishing, were almost similar with parallel rise, were major areas where an
overwhelming amount of money, above 70% even though 90% in case of the United
States, was spent in all three regions.
Similarly, music also
witnessed a two-fold rise, in spite of being moderate, in the US and Asian
markets, but Europe on the other hand saw a rather stagnant market.
Video registered a 100% rise
in all the three markets despite of quantum being quite limited, but the market
of cinema remained stagnant.
