Analyst Opinion

The Cinema market in Pakistan has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends, and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Pakistan have shown a growing interest in cinema, with an increasing number of people choosing to watch movies in theaters rather than at home. This shift can be attributed to several factors, including the desire for a more immersive and social experience, the availability of a wider range of movies in theaters, and the improved quality of cinema technology. Additionally, the rising disposable income of the middle class has made cinema more affordable and accessible to a larger segment of the population.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the cinema market in Pakistan is the growing popularity of local films. Pakistani cinema has seen a resurgence in recent years, with a greater emphasis on producing high-quality local content. This trend has been fueled by the success of Pakistani films both domestically and internationally, as well as the support of the government and local film industry. As a result, there has been an increase in the number of Pakistani films being produced and screened in theaters, attracting a larger audience and contributing to the overall growth of the cinema market. Another trend in the market is the expansion of multiplex cinemas. Multiplexes, which offer multiple screens and a variety of movie options, have become increasingly popular in urban areas of Pakistan. This trend is driven by the growing demand for a more diverse movie selection and the desire for a premium cinema experience. Multiplexes often provide amenities such as comfortable seating, state-of-the-art sound and projection systems, and a range of food and beverage options, catering to the evolving preferences of customers.

Local special circumstances:
The cinema market in Pakistan is also influenced by local special circumstances. One such circumstance is the cultural significance of cinema in Pakistani society. Movies have long been a popular form of entertainment in Pakistan, and the cinema industry holds a special place in the hearts of many Pakistanis. This cultural significance has contributed to the resilience and growth of the cinema market, as people continue to value the communal experience of watching movies on the big screen.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Several macroeconomic factors have contributed to the development of the cinema market in Pakistan. The country's growing economy and rising disposable income have increased the affordability of cinema tickets and concessions, making it more accessible to a larger segment of the population. Additionally, the government's support for the film industry through policies and incentives has encouraged investment and growth in the sector. These macroeconomic factors, combined with changing customer preferences and emerging trends, have created a favorable environment for the development of the cinema market in Pakistan.

Data coverage:

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.
