Another trend in the market is the integration of digital technology into cinema advertising. Digital screens and interactive displays are being used to create more engaging and interactive advertising experiences.

We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights) to analyze the markets.as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as various macroeconomic indicators, historical developments, current trends, reported performance indicators of key market players as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration and usage) to analyze the markets.
