A Thriving Industry

The Out-of-Home industry ended 2010 posting a healthy 19% increase on net revenue year-to-date of $77 million, up from $400 million in 2009 to $477 million in 2010.

In 2009, the industry changed the way it reports revenue performance to align with the introduction on its new audience measurement system, MOVE (Measurement of Outdoor Visibility and Exposure)

 

 

Rather than categorise revenue results by format, performances are reported under the following audience environments:

  • Roadside - Billboards (over and under 25 square metres)
  • Roadside - Other (street furniture, taxis, bus/tram externals, small format)
  • Transport (bus/tram internals, airport internals and precincts, railway stations and bus terminals)
  • Retail/Lifestyle (shopping centre panels, including carparks and internals)

All categories across the sector have performed well in 2010 with double digit growth for each:
