NEW YORK—As streaming media companies struggle to produce profits, private equity investments in the sector have also slumped, with private equity and venture capital firms investing only $370 million into streaming media companies worldwide in 2022, down 73% from $1.38 billion of investments in 2021, S&P Global Market Intelligence data shows.
That marks a significant fall from the $7.5 billion invested in the sector by private equity and venture capital at the height of the streaming boom in 2019, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
