Analyst Opinion

The Box Office market in Tanzania has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Tanzanian moviegoers have shown a strong preference for local films, with a growing demand for movies that showcase their own culture, traditions, and stories. This has led to an increase in the production and distribution of Tanzanian films, as well as a rise in the number of local cinemas. Additionally, there is a growing interest in international films, particularly those from Hollywood, which are often seen as a symbol of prestige and quality.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Tanzanian Box Office market is the increasing number of cinema screens across the country. This can be attributed to both the growing demand for movies and the investments made by local and international cinema chains. As a result, more Tanzanians now have access to cinemas, which has contributed to the overall growth of the market. Another trend in the market is the rise of digital platforms for movie distribution. With the increasing availability of high-speed internet and the popularity of smartphones, Tanzanian moviegoers now have the option to watch movies online. This has opened up new opportunities for filmmakers and distributors to reach a wider audience and generate additional revenue.

Local special circumstances:
One of the unique aspects of the Tanzanian Box Office market is the influence of the Swahili language. Swahili is widely spoken in Tanzania and is the official language of the country. As a result, there is a strong demand for movies in Swahili, both from local audiences and the Tanzanian diaspora. This has led to the production of Swahili-language films, which have gained popularity not only in Tanzania but also in other Swahili-speaking countries in East Africa.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Box Office market in Tanzania can be attributed to several macroeconomic factors. Firstly, the country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has allowed more Tanzanians to afford movie tickets and contribute to the growth of the market. Secondly, the government of Tanzania has implemented policies to support the film industry, including tax incentives and subsidies for local filmmakers. These initiatives have encouraged investment in the production and distribution of Tanzanian films, leading to a greater variety of movies available to audiences. Lastly, the tourism industry in Tanzania has also played a role in the growth of the Box Office market. The country is known for its stunning landscapes, wildlife, and cultural heritage, which has attracted international filmmakers to shoot movies on location in Tanzania. This has not only generated revenue for the local film industry but has also increased the visibility of Tanzanian films on the global stage. In conclusion, the Box Office market in Tanzania is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for local and international films, the increasing number of cinema screens, the rise of digital platforms, the influence of the Swahili language, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth, government support, and the tourism industry.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the Cinema market, which comprises revenues from box office, advertsing and concessions. The market includes both consumer and advertising spending. All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on tickets and concessions. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / market size:

The market size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as various macroeconomic indicators, historical developments, current trends, and reported performance indicators of key market players. In particular, we consider average prices and annual purchase frequencies.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and 4G coverage.
