    Analyst Opinion

    The Cinema Tickets market in Iran has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, driven by a combination of customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

    Customer preferences:
    Iranians have a strong affinity for cinema, with a rich history of film production and a vibrant film culture. Going to the cinema is a popular leisure activity for many Iranians, offering a form of escapism and entertainment. The younger population in particular is drawn to the cinema experience, seeking out the latest movies and enjoying the social aspect of watching films with friends.

    Trends in the market:
    One notable trend in the Iranian cinema tickets market is the increasing popularity of local films. Iranian cinema has gained international recognition in recent years, with acclaimed directors and thought-provoking storytelling. This has resulted in a growing demand for Iranian films domestically, leading to higher ticket sales and increased revenue for the industry. Another trend in the market is the rise of multiplex cinemas. These modern, state-of-the-art theaters offer a more immersive and comfortable movie-watching experience, attracting a wider audience. Multiplexes often feature multiple screens, allowing for a greater variety of films to be shown simultaneously, catering to different tastes and preferences.

    Local special circumstances:
    Iran has a unique cultural and regulatory environment that influences the cinema tickets market. The country has a strict censorship policy, which means that certain films may be banned or heavily edited before being released. This can impact the availability and diversity of films in the market, as well as the overall ticket sales. Additionally, the Iranian government has been actively supporting the local film industry through various initiatives and subsidies. This has helped to nurture local talent, promote Iranian cinema internationally, and encourage domestic audiences to support homegrown films. These government efforts have contributed to the growth of the cinema tickets market in Iran.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Iranian economy has experienced fluctuations in recent years, with periods of economic growth and periods of economic challenges. These macroeconomic factors can influence consumer spending power and overall demand for cinema tickets. During times of economic uncertainty, consumers may cut back on discretionary spending, including entertainment activities like going to the cinema. Conversely, during periods of economic growth, consumers may have more disposable income to spend on leisure activities, boosting ticket sales. In conclusion, the Cinema Tickets market in Iran is developing due to a combination of customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The strong affinity for cinema among Iranians, the increasing popularity of local films, the rise of multiplex cinemas, the unique cultural and regulatory environment, and the influence of macroeconomic factors all contribute to the growth of the cinema tickets market in Iran.

    Methodology

    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.

    Cinema chains in the United States and Canada - statistics & facts

    Movie exhibition corporations are struggling to stay afloat despite a general rebound of the movie industry. 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.
