The employment in the Television Programming and Broadcasting Activities sector in Switzerland is projected to decline gradually from 2024 to 2028. The forecasts for the sector are as follows: 5.04 thousand FTEs in 2024, decreasing to 4.45 thousand FTEs by 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend in employment. The year-on-year percentage variation highlights a decline approximately in the range of 3% from 2024 to 2025, 3.1% from 2025 to 2026, 3.2% from 2026 to 2027, and about 3% from 2027 to 2028, suggesting steady erosion in employment figures.
Future trends to watch for include digital transformation within the media industry, leading to automation and a shift towards online broadcasting, which might explain the reduction in traditional broadcasting personnel. Additionally, the rise in content creation by independent producers and streaming services could also contribute to this employment decline.
