Key Market Driver

The growing popularity of the global box office is the key factor driving the growth of the global market. Filmmakers cater to international audiences and help the global box office market become more important than local or regional box office markets. For instance, Hollywood is the largest film industry in the world, generating more than 70% of its revenue from the international market. In addition, the global box office encourages the local box offices to produce movies that experiment with genres and themes, thereby attracting more investments.

For instance, in 2020, eight movies, such as Avengers: Endgame and Disney's The Lion King, Frozen 2, Captain Marvel, Toy Story 4 and Aladdin, and Warner Bros. Joker and Sony's Spider-Man: Far from Home, reached the billion-dollar mark. The increasing number of releases of concept movies is driving the number of cinema screens worldwide, which is fueling the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

Increasing focus on paperless transactions is the primary trend in the global market growth. Increased pollution is having a negative impact on the environment. Governments around the world are focusing on reducing deforestation and pollution. Government agencies around the world are pushing digital transactions to reduce paper consumption and save trees. Many telecommunications and banking organizations have launched online platforms for monetary transactions.

The increasing focus on paperless transactions has encouraged online movie ticket booking service providers to generate e-tickets that are sent via messages or e-mails. These e-tickets can be scanned at the venue. Viewers can book tickets at their convenience and store them on their personal devices. Digital bills contribute to the environment by eliminating the need for hard copies of the tickets. Thus, the increasing focus on paperless transactions is a major trend, which is expected to support the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Rising film piracy is a major challenge to the growth of the global market. Movie piracy in the market for online cinema ticket services can have several negative consequences. First, pirated content is often freely available and can erode the profitability of the movie industry by diverting potential paying customers away from legitimate movie channels. This could ultimately lead to lower revenues for the film industry and less investment in future film productions. Moreover, film piracy can also negatively impact the quality of movies and TV shows available to viewers. This is because piracy can discourage studios and producers from investing in high-quality content, knowing that their work may be stolen and distributed without their consent.

In the long term, this can lead to a reduction in the diversity and creativity of the film industry. With the rising problem of film piracy in the market, several measures can be taken. These may include stronger enforcement of copyright laws, more effective digital rights management systems, and greater public awareness campaigns about the negative impacts of piracy, which are expected to hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
