Inflation price hikes will further spur nominal gains
Cleveland, OH, May 23, 2023 — US motion picture and video industry revenues are forecast to increase 9.3% per year in nominal dollars through 2027, according to Motion Pictures & Video: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports.
Advances will reflect ongoing expansion in both the introduction and adoption of streaming platforms and associated revenue throughout the industry, as well as an increase in prices exacerbated by inflation. In addition, these providers will further expand into untapped and increasingly wealthy global markets, which will boost royalty payments. Further gains will be driven by a recovery in theater attendance following pandemic lows, as many films ceased production or were not released in the midst of widespread theater closures.
TV licensing revenues are projected to rise 9.1% annually to 2027, making it the largest and fastest growing discrete segment. Viewership is expected to continue to shift from traditional over-the-air, cable, and satellite broadcast to video-on-demand (VOD) in free and subscription-based varieties, as well as from set-top VOD to over-the-top (OTT) varieties. In the interim, however, intensifying fragmentation across viewing formats will continue to boost licensing activity.
