The study shows the continued worldwide sales growth of licensed products and services across categories including corporate, sports, entertainment, celebrities, fashion, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year\u2019s Global Licensing Industry Study will be published later this summer and was conducted by third-party research firm Brandar Consulting, LLC.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe global brand licensing industry continues to show remarkable resilience and growth. In 2024, consumers demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the brands, characters, and properties they love\u2014despite ongoing economic uncertainty,\u201d said <strong>Maura Regan, President of Licensing International<\/strong>. \u201cOnce again, the brand licensing industry outperformed the broader global retail market, reinforcing the fact that trusted brands drive more consumer engagement and inform purchasing decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2025 Global Study results are derived from multiple sources of market information as well as survey-reported data from 56 countries and all seven major geographic regions. In all, the study\u2019s analysis includes specific licensing data from 935 companies spanning the globe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key takeaways from the 2025 Global Licensing Industry Study include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>Entertainment\/Characters<\/strong> segment grew<strong>5% <\/strong>to reach <strong>$149.8 billion<\/strong> in revenue.\n<ul>\n<li>Growth was weaker in 2024 compared to previous years, due in part to the writers\u2019 and actors\u2019 strikes, which stalled production and pushed a number of titles to later dates on the calendar. There was a significant boost towards the end of the year, however, thanks to Universal\u2019s <strong><em>Wicked<\/em>, <\/strong>Disney\u2019s<strong> <em>Moana 2<\/em><\/strong>, and Paramount\u2019s <strong><em>Sonic the Hedgehog 3<\/em><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Revenue was split between<strong> Film &amp; TV (43%) <\/strong>and <strong>Anime, Gaming, and Social Media (33%).<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The majority of revenue in this category came from<strong> classic &amp; franchise properties (77%)<\/strong>, while <strong>20%<\/strong>stemmed from <strong>new<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Top performing property categories in terms of growth rates in 2024 included <strong>Non-Profit<\/strong> (<strong>+16.8%<\/strong>), <strong>Music (+11.6%), Celebrity (+8.8%), Fashion <\/strong>(<strong>+8.1%<\/strong>), <strong>Corporate (+6.1%),<\/strong> and <strong>Sports <\/strong>(<strong>+3.6%<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<li>Several regions reported above market average growth rates in 2024, including <strong>South Asia\/PAC (+6.8%)<\/strong>, <strong>ME\/Africa (+6%)<\/strong>, <strong>Eastern Europe (+5.9%), <\/strong>and <strong>LATAM (+4.4%).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further results from Licensing International\u2019s 2025 Global Licensing Industry Study will be published in the complete report, including regional and country-by-country breakdowns for major markets.
