Video streaming is a large part of the film industry’s present and future. In recent years, several new platforms have been launched, and people can watch content on every device they want – from mobile devices to large TV screens. This is a development that has been anticipated for a long time as consumers are turning away from watching their favorite TV shows and movies on traditional TV, such as cable or satellite TV. While the subscription-based business model has been struggling lately in light of an increasing inflation and rising costs, ad-supported video streaming content is gaining in popularity, with a forecast suggesting that the revenue is forecast to almost double between 2023 and 2029. Compared to that, the cinema industry still has to catch up with pre-pandemic times, with an estimated box office of 34.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, compared to over 42 billion U.S. dollars recorded in 2019.

The global filmed entertainment market, which includes cinema, both physical and digital home video, as well as TV, is expected to rebound from the pandemic and garner a total revenue exceeding 100 billion U.S. dollars by 2026. Not surprisingly, the United States are predicted to hold the highest market share worldwide at about one third of the total revenue. China is expected to consolidate its position in second place with a projected increase of 50 percent between 2021 and 2026.

The global traditional TV and home video market recently declined, while the digital segment grew significantly, surpassing DVD and Blu-ray sales in the past decade. In 2019, the revenue of OTT video revenue also outpaced box office results. Additionally, the coronavirus outbreak decimated the cinema industry, whereas digital in-home entertainment reaped the benefits. However, the theatrical market was on the rebound recently, despite not reaching pre-pandemic figures.

With prices of streaming services growing, consumers are canceling their SVOD subscriptions more often and using ad-supported streaming offers instead. Due to this shift, several providers have recently been struggling. In order to minimize churn and income losses, streaming companies launched their own lower-cost ad-funded tiers, with a forecast suggesting that hybrid video-on-demand revenues of Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, and Max would amount to over 20 billion U.S. dollars in 2029.
