Subscription-based platforms such as Netflix and Spotify have gained popularity among consumers, offering a wide range of content that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. This trend has been fueled by the increasing availability of high-speed internet and the proliferation of smart devices.

This has led to the development of mobile-friendly applications and platforms, as well as the growth of mobile advertising. Another trend in the Finnish media market is the increasing importance of social media. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have become an integral part of people's daily lives, serving as a source of news, entertainment, and social interaction.

In addition, social media influencers have emerged as a powerful marketing tool, with brands partnering with popular influencers to promote their products and services.
Local special circumstances: Finland has a strong tradition of public broadcasting, with the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) being the main public service broadcaster. Yle operates several television and radio channels, as well as an online platform, providing a wide range of content to the Finnish audience. Public broadcasting plays a crucial role in promoting Finnish culture and language, as well as providing independent and unbiased news coverage.

This has created a favorable environment for the development of the media industry, with companies investing in new technologies and digital infrastructure.

Overall, the media market in Finland is evolving rapidly, driven by changing customer preferences and the adoption of new technologies.
