    Analyst Opinion

    The Cinema Tickets market in EU-27 is experiencing significant growth and development.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in EU-27 have shown a growing interest in cinema tickets, with an increasing number of people choosing to go to the movies. This can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the cinema experience offers a unique opportunity for individuals to escape from their daily routines and immerse themselves in a different world. Additionally, the availability of a wide range of movie genres and the introduction of advanced technologies such as 3D and IMAX have enhanced the overall cinematic experience, attracting more customers to the theaters. Furthermore, the increasing popularity of streaming platforms has not diminished the demand for cinema tickets, as many individuals still prefer the social aspect of watching a movie in a theater with friends or family.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Cinema Tickets market in EU-27 is the rise in ticket prices. The cost of cinema tickets has been steadily increasing over the years, reflecting the growing demand for the cinema experience. This trend can be attributed to various factors, including the rising costs of production and distribution, as well as the investment in state-of-the-art facilities and technologies that enhance the overall movie-watching experience. Despite the increase in ticket prices, customers in EU-27 are willing to pay more for a premium cinema experience. Another trend in the market is the increasing number of cinemas and screens in EU-27. This can be attributed to the growing demand for cinema tickets and the willingness of investors to capitalize on this trend. The expansion of cinema chains and the opening of new theaters in both urban and rural areas have made movie-watching more accessible to a larger population. Additionally, the introduction of multiplexes, which offer a variety of movie options under one roof, has further contributed to the growth of the Cinema Tickets market in EU-27.

    Local special circumstances:
    The Cinema Tickets market in EU-27 is influenced by local special circumstances in each country. For example, in countries with a strong film industry, such as France and the United Kingdom, there is a greater emphasis on promoting domestic films and supporting local talent. This has led to the establishment of film festivals and the implementation of policies that prioritize the screening of local productions. In contrast, countries with a smaller film industry may rely more on international releases to attract customers to the theaters.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth and development of the Cinema Tickets market in EU-27 can be attributed to several underlying macroeconomic factors. Firstly, the overall economic growth and increasing disposable incomes in the region have contributed to the rising demand for cinema tickets. As people have more money to spend on leisure activities, they are more likely to choose to go to the movies. Additionally, the stability and accessibility of the EU-27 market have made it an attractive destination for international film distributors, leading to a wider range of movie options for customers. Finally, the strong cultural ties within the EU-27 have fostered a sense of community and shared experiences, making movie-watching a popular social activity.

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

    Modeling approach / Market size:

    Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

    Additional notes:

    The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.

In 2022, the box office gross in the U.S. and Canada amounted to 7.5 billion U.S. dollars, making it the biggest market on the international scale. Meanwhile, among companies that disclose their financials regularly, the combined global revenue of the top six cinema chains operating in both nations surpassed seven billion dollars that same year. Out of that total, around 3.66 billion dollars came exclusively from movie ticket sales worldwide. And most of those corporations have in North America their largest, if not only, consumer market.
