Cultural Institutions: The Next Emerging Market for Licensing
Cultural institutions held the smallest market share of brand licensing’s $292.8 billion global revenue in 2019, precisely 0.5 percent, according to
the Licensing International Annual Report 2020
. While the percentage of actual market share may be comparatively small, the category is defined by positive growth in consumer demand, widespread market penetration, endless archives of heritage assets and dedication to quality.
Licensed experts in the art and heritage space discussed the emergence of cultural institutions in licensing in the space during their panel at Licensing Week Virtual. Sharing how the category has evolved and were it expects to go, the panelists highlighted the unique value of the space in 2020 and beyond.
