Breakdown of active businesses and employment in the audiovisual core* by production sectors In the year before the pandemic crisis, audiovisual companies had shown a positive variation compared to the negative figure of the overall non-agricultural sector (+ 0.7% against -2.1%) and growth of employees of +2.2% (total non-agricultural enterprises + 0.6%). In particular, the production, post-production and film distribution sectors stood out, with a growth in companies (respectively + 1.5%, + 2.1%, + 0.8%) and above all of employees (+ 3.9%, + 5.2% and + 4.6%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Breakdown of active businesses and employees in the audiovisual core* by production sectors On the other hand, both figures were negative for the exhibition sector (-1.6% businesses, -2.5% employee count). As for TV programming and broadcasting, the business count was negative (-3.8%), while the employee count had risen (+ 1.6%).

These variations increased the weight of the theatrical production and post-production component on the entire audiovisual system, both in terms of active companies (from 61.0 to 61.5% in the first case, from 15.4% to 15.6% in the second), but above all, of employee count (from 32.5 to 33.2% in the first case, from 4.9% to 5.1% in the second), while the incidence grew much more slowly for distribution and dropped in the other sectors.
These data allowed us to go into further detail from a company size standpoint.
In particular, the average size calculated as the ratio between employees and companies by sector, corresponding to 6.6 employees for the audiovisual industry tout court, made TV programming and broadcasting stand out as the largest business sector (31.2 employees on average,) followed by quite a distance by exhibition and distribution (8.0 and 7.2 respectively), while theatrical production and post-production employed fewer workers (3.6 and 2.2, respectively).
If we look at the second indicator adopted (on average 262.1 K\u20ac per employee), the order among sectors changes, placing theatrical distribution at the top (653.2 K\u20ac per employee), followed by television (364.9 K\u20ac per employee) and at a distance theatrical post-production (142.0 K\u20ac per employee), theatrical production (138.8 K\u20ac per employee) and finally exhibition (135.6 K\u20ac per employee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
