The forecast for the total number of researchers in publishing, motion picture, video and television programme production, sound recording, programming, and broadcasting activities in Canada shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual figure stood lower than 12.79 thousand full-time equivalents. Year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 reflects consistent upward trends, with variations averaging around 2.4% annually over this period. This incremental growth suggests a healthy expansion of research activities in these creative sectors.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of emerging technologies on content production, the increasing demand for digital content, and possible regulatory changes in broadcasting. These factors could further influence research needs and professional requirements in this space.
