About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in Disney. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Disney, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $34,688 for males and $21,875 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Disney. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 63 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 37%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the town of Disney.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Disney, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $63,750, while females earned $35,000, leading to a 45% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 55 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This level of income gap emphasizes the urgency to address and rectify this ongoing disparity, where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same employment roles.

Remarkably, across all roles, including non-full-time employment, women displayed a similar gender pay gap percentage. This indicates a consistent gender pay gap scenario across various employment types in Disney, showcasing a consistent income pattern irrespective of employment status.

The global media franchise market is a dynamic and lucrative sector, exhibiting substantial growth potential. While precise figures for market size and CAGR are unavailable, a reasonable estimation based on publicly available data for similar entertainment sectors suggests a 2025 market size in the range of $250 billion USD. This projection considers the significant revenue streams generated by established franchises such as Pokémon, Disney, and others listed in the provided company data. A conservative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7% over the forecast period (2025-2033) is projected, reflecting continued expansion driven by factors such as the increasing popularity of streaming services, the expansion of merchandising opportunities (toys, apparel, video games), and the enduring appeal of established intellectual property. Key growth drivers include innovative storytelling across multiple platforms (films, television, video games, theme parks), strategic cross-promotional campaigns, and the global reach facilitated by digital distribution channels. However, this growth is not without challenges. Restraints on expansion include intense competition among major players, rising production costs, fluctuating consumer spending patterns, and evolving audience preferences. Maintaining audience engagement requires constant innovation, effective adaptation to new technologies, and a keen understanding of evolving consumer demands. Segmentation within the market is significant, with distinct categories such as animation, live-action, and gaming contributing differently to overall revenue. The success of individual franchises relies heavily on their ability to adapt and innovate to remain relevant and competitive within the ever-evolving entertainment landscape. The geographic distribution of market share will likely remain concentrated in North America, Europe, and Asia, reflecting established entertainment markets and high consumer spending in these regions. Companies such as Disney, Nintendo, and Pokémon Company remain key players leveraging their extensive intellectual property portfolios and established global distribution networks.

The global box office market, while experiencing fluctuations, demonstrates a robust and resilient nature. The period from 2019-2024 showed significant impact from the pandemic, leading to a temporary downturn. However, with the resurgence of theatrical releases and a growing appetite for cinematic experiences, the market is poised for substantial growth. Let's assume a conservative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8% for the forecast period (2025-2033), considering factors such as streaming competition, changing consumer preferences, and the potential for future disruptions. This growth will be driven by several key factors including the continued release of high-budget blockbuster films, expansion into emerging markets, the adoption of innovative technologies such as IMAX and premium large format screens enhancing the viewing experience, and strategic marketing campaigns to attract a wider audience. Major players like Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, and others will continue to shape the landscape through strategic acquisitions, mergers, and the creation of diverse and high-quality content. The segmentation within the box office market remains crucial. While data on specific segments is absent, it is likely that genres such as action, superhero, and animation will continue to dominate box office revenues. The regional distribution of revenue is also important. North America, traditionally a significant market, will likely maintain its strong position, while emerging markets in Asia and Latin America offer considerable potential for expansion. However, factors such as economic conditions, global events, and competition from streaming platforms pose challenges that will need to be strategically addressed. The focus will be on offering a truly compelling theatrical experience that cannot be replicated at home to ensure the long-term success of the box office.

The rise of online streaming platforms has revolutionised the media distribution industry. A 2024 Eurostat report reveals that 49.6% of EU respondents used an online streaming service in the preceding three months, a rise from 23% in 2018. This shift has disrupted other distribution methods, including DVDs, downloads and broadcast channels. The advent of video-on-demand services has empowered major film and TV studios to establish their own direct-to-customer platforms (like Disney+ and BritBox), therefore gaining more control over content distribution. Streaming platforms have also created new opportunities for distributors to exploit older films and programmes, with little to no added costs, boosting profitability. Industry revenue is set to rise at a compound annual rate of 1.5% over the five years through 2025 to €15.7 billion. Cinemas are grappling with reduced exclusive periods for new releases. The UK-based chain Cineworld (operating in Poland and Czechia) has had its exclusivity window with Universal slashed from 90 to 45 days, which has become the new norm for the industry. Equally disruptive has been the strike action in the US by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), which lasted from July 2023 to November 2023. This caused a slowdown in new film and TV programme releases through 2024 and slowed the industry's growth. In 2025, industry revenue is projected to grow by 1.1%, supported by the release of previously delayed releases. There are indications of a strategic shift in sports broadcasting over the coming years. Following the model of production companies like Disney and Paramount, major sports leagues are venturing into direct distribution through subscription services for fans, as seen with Formula 1's launch of F1 TV. The market is set to become increasingly digitalised, with less and less prominence for traditional linear TV. The trend indicates a future where distribution rights for premium TV shows could become a more heated battleground. Distributor revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.5% over the five years through 2030 to reach €20.6 billion.

The US amusement and theme park industry, a significant contributor to the entertainment sector, is experiencing robust growth. With a 2025 market size estimated at $23.77 billion (based on provided global data and considering the US's significant share of the global market), the industry projects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 3.50% through 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. Increased disposable incomes, particularly among millennials and Gen Z, who represent a large segment of theme park visitors, drive demand for leisure and entertainment experiences. Innovative ride technology, immersive storytelling, and themed events continually attract repeat visitors and introduce new audiences. The industry's segmentation into land rides, water rides, and other types, coupled with diverse revenue streams from tickets, food and beverage sales, merchandise, and other sources, contributes to overall market resilience. Strategic partnerships, expansion into new locations, and investments in enhancing visitor experience also play a vital role in the industry's sustained growth. However, the industry faces challenges. Seasonal fluctuations in attendance can impact profitability, and increasing operational costs, including labor and maintenance, pose a constant pressure. Competition among established players like Disney Parks, Universal Parks and Resorts, and Six Flags necessitates continuous innovation and differentiation to maintain market share. External factors such as economic downturns and changing consumer preferences also necessitate careful monitoring and adaptive strategies. The ongoing need for safety upgrades and regulatory compliance adds another layer of complexity. Despite these challenges, the industry's inherent appeal, ongoing innovation, and strategic investments suggest a positive outlook for continued growth and expansion in the coming years. The strong presence of major players within the US market, coupled with the nation's large and diverse population, position the industry for sustained prosperity. Recent developments include: September 2023: Crescent Real Estate LLC acquired the Element Orlando Universal Blvd., a 165-key hotel operated under a franchise agreement with Marriott International. Located just outside the confines of the mixed-use development known as Icon Park, Element Orlando hotel guests have immediate access to 20 acres of entertainment opportunities., July 2023: Asacha Media Group, a European consolidator, acquired a majority share in Arrow International Media, the producer of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Asacha has financed the Arrow acquisition through a mix of equity from existing shareholders and debt financing from Tikehau Capital..

The global media franchise market is a dynamic and rapidly expanding sector, projected to experience significant growth over the next decade. While precise figures for market size and CAGR are not provided, a reasonable estimation, considering the involvement of major players like Disney, Nintendo, and Pokémon, would place the 2025 market value in the hundreds of billions of dollars, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of potentially 7-10% through 2033. This robust growth is fueled by several key drivers. Firstly, the increasing popularity of streaming services and digital content consumption fuels demand for established franchises, offering familiar and trusted content. Secondly, the expansion of global media consumption, particularly in emerging markets, provides access to wider audiences for established franchises. Thirdly, innovative licensing and merchandising strategies, across various mediums, generate substantial revenue streams. The market is segmented by application (video games, comic books, movies, etc.) and target demographic (child and adult), offering opportunities for targeted marketing and product development. However, the market also faces certain restraints. The high cost of production and marketing for major franchise expansions can present a challenge. Fluctuating consumer spending and evolving media consumption habits also pose potential risks. Furthermore, increased competition from new entrants and the need for continuous innovation to maintain audience engagement require strategic adaptability. Despite these challenges, the continued evolution of storytelling across diverse media platforms, combined with global reach via streaming and digital distribution, positions the media franchise market for sustained growth, making it an attractive sector for investment and further development. Key players like Disney, Nintendo, and the Pokémon Company continue to dominate the landscape, leveraging their established brands and diverse content portfolios.
