Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Cinema Concessions market in Kenya is the introduction of local flavors and cuisines. Cinemas are incorporating traditional Kenyan snacks and dishes into their concession menus to cater to the local taste preferences. This not only provides customers with a unique culinary experience but also supports local food producers and suppliers.

This has led to a rise in discretionary spending on entertainment and leisure activities, including cinema outings. Cinemas are capitalizing on this trend by expanding their concessions offerings and providing customers with a wider range of choices.

Increased urbanization and a growing young population are driving demand for entertainment options, including cinema. As a result, cinemas are investing in upgrading their facilities and expanding their concessions offerings to meet the evolving needs and preferences of customers.

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the Cinema market, which comprises revenues from box office, advertsing and concessions. The market includes both consumer and advertising spending. All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on tickets and concessions. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / market size:

The market size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), 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, and reported performance indicators of key market players. In particular, we consider average prices and annual purchase frequencies.

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and 4G coverage.
