Media and Internet Concentration in Australia, 2019-2022

Abstract

The Communications, Media and Internet Concentration in Australia report provides an overview of market concentration and the economic dominance of key players in 15 markets across telecommunications and internet access, online media and traditional media services, and core internet applications. Collating and analysing publicly available revenue and consumer data, we find that from 2019 to 2022, the majority of Australia’s media, internet and communication markets are moderately to highly concentrated. These results reflect a long history of media concentration in Australia and a continuing trend seen in many developed economies abroad.
