Despite government moves to clamp down on piracy, it continues unabated, with many consumers unconcerned of the possible penalties involved. This has resulted in a dramatic decline in volumes, as consumers are reluctant to pay for something they can access for free, regardless of the legal implications.

By 2016, the music & video retail market will be worth almost GBP1bn less than it was in 2012. This will be a result of a paradigm shift in the business models of both record labels and film studios, as they seek to monetise their products outside of retail, leading to a notable decline in volumes.
