TRANSFORMATION OF THE MEDIA MARKET AND NEW
DEVEIOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN 2019
Introduction. The past 2018 was a dynamic, full of events and changes that led
to a transformation of the structure on the media market. The main directions that can
be noted not only for Ukraine but also for the entire world media community are: total
cross-media digitalization of the market, development and globalization of
technologies and data. The past year has become a turning point for the Ukrainian

gap between television and the Internet will decrease, according to experts, from 30
minutes in 2018 to seven minutes in 2019.
Mobile technology has thoroughly violated consumer habits in less than ten
years. The pace of change is now slowing down - at least until the next blasting
technology appears. Consumers expect them to be able to communicate and trade with
brands at the time and place they chose. Brands should respond and anticipate changes
in behavior, build stronger and more stable customer relationships and expand their
business.
In 2018 there were such important events as: the exclusion of the ATO zone from
the measurement panel in January; the FIFA World Cup in June and July attracted the
attention of advertisers and provided a temporary market boost; analogue broadcasting
