From Newsplayer Group PLC:
?We estimate the stock footage market in Europe and North America to
be worth around $200 million per annum. It is growing at more than 20%
per annum, fuelled by increased demands for new programming and the
huge saving
it represents compared with shooting new footage. Interactive technology and
the Internet will further contribute to the growth of the market as it makes
stock footage cheaper and easier to locate and license.?
