Analyst Opinion

The Cinema market in Singapore has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Singapore have shown a growing preference for immersive cinema experiences, such as 3D and IMAX screenings. This trend can be attributed to the desire for a more engaging and visually stimulating movie-watching experience. Additionally, there has been an increasing demand for luxury cinema options, with customers willing to pay a premium for amenities such as comfortable seating, gourmet food, and personalized service.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the cinema market in Singapore is the rise of online ticket booking platforms and mobile applications. These platforms have made it easier for customers to browse movie listings, check showtimes, and book tickets in advance. This convenience factor has contributed to an increase in ticket sales and overall market growth. Another trend in the market is the emergence of alternative content screenings. Cinemas in Singapore are now offering screenings of live events such as concerts, sports matches, and theater performances. This diversification of content has attracted a wider audience and increased the utilization of cinema spaces beyond traditional movie screenings.

Local special circumstances:
Singapore's cinema market is unique due to its diverse population and strong government support. The city-state is home to a multicultural society, with residents from different ethnic backgrounds and nationalities. This diversity has led to a demand for a wide range of movies, including local productions, international blockbusters, and films from various countries. The government of Singapore has also been supportive of the cinema industry, providing incentives and grants to encourage local film production and the development of cinema infrastructure.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the cinema market in Singapore can be attributed to several underlying macroeconomic factors. The city-state has a high disposable income per capita, which allows residents to spend more on leisure activities such as going to the movies. Additionally, Singapore has a strong tourism industry, attracting millions of visitors each year. These tourists contribute to the cinema market by watching movies during their stay in the country. Furthermore, Singapore's stable economy and favorable business environment have attracted international cinema chains to establish a presence in the market, leading to increased competition and investment. In conclusion, the cinema market in Singapore has experienced significant growth due to changing customer preferences, the emergence of online ticket booking platforms, the diversification of content, the city-state's unique multicultural society, and strong government support. The underlying macroeconomic factors, such as high disposable income per capita, a thriving tourism industry, and a stable economy, have also contributed to the market's development.

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.
