INDUSTRIES, MEDIA | AGCOM publishes the updated list of the 14 markets comprising the SIC

On 10 November 2025, AGCOM published Resolution No. 251/25/CONS (Resolution) outlining the results of its public consultation on the redefinition of the individual markets constituting the Integrated Communications System (SIC).  Pursuant to Article 51(2) of Legislative Decree No. 208/2021 (TUSMA), AGCOM assesses annually – also through the “Informativa Economica di Sistema” (IES) form – all SIC operators to verify whether any exceeds the statutory market-share thresholds serving as systemic indicators of a position of significant market power capable of jeopardizing media pluralism. With this Resolution, AGCOM has now confirmed that the SIC is constituted by the following 14 markets: i) the national daily press market; ii) the local daily press market; iii) the national periodical press market; iv) the national press agency market; v) the national market for radio and radio media services (linear and on-demand); vi) the national market for free AVMS (linear and on-demand); vii) the national market for pay-per-view AVMS (linear and on-demand); viii) the market of local AVMS; ix) the national cinema advertising market; x) the national outdoor advertising ; xi) the national market for VSP services; xii) the national market for online search engines; xiii) the national market for online social network services; and xiv) the national market for online advertising services, including advertising networks, advertising exchanges and any other advertising intermediation services.
