Digital Entertainment Payment Trends: 2024 vs 2025
Digital Entertainment Payment Practices: Slight Improvement in 2025 - Avg Score Up 1 Point
The Comparison
- 2024: 105 digital entertainment companies assessed, averaging a payment practice score of 75.7 out of 100.
- 2025: 86 companies assessed, with an average payment practice score of 76.7 out of 100.
What This Means
The shift from 2024 to 2025 indicates a marginal improvement in payment behaviours within the digital entertainment sector, although the decrease in companies assessed suggests potential consolidation or exits within the market. A single-point increase in the average score, while positive, is unlikely to represent a seismic shift in how companies are managing their financial obligations and indicates that significant late payment issues persist.
