Analyst Opinion

The Cinema Tickets market in Belgium has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the emergence of new trends in the market.

Customer preferences:
Belgian customers have shown a strong preference for experiencing movies in theaters, leading to a steady demand for cinema tickets. This preference can be attributed to the immersive and social experience that theaters offer, allowing moviegoers to enjoy films on a larger screen with high-quality sound systems. Additionally, the availability of a wide range of movie genres and the presence of multiplexes in urban areas have further contributed to the popularity of cinemas in Belgium.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Cinema Tickets market in Belgium is the growing popularity of online ticket booking platforms. Customers now have the convenience of booking their cinema tickets online, allowing them to choose their preferred seats and avoid long queues at the ticket counters. This trend has been facilitated by the widespread adoption of smartphones and internet connectivity, making it easier for customers to access online ticket booking platforms. Another notable trend is the increasing demand for premium cinema experiences. Belgian customers are willing to pay a higher price for premium features such as reclining seats, gourmet food options, and advanced audiovisual technologies. This trend reflects a desire for a more luxurious and comfortable movie-watching experience, enhancing the overall value proposition of going to the cinema.

Local special circumstances:
Belgium has a rich cultural heritage and a strong tradition of filmmaking. The country has produced several acclaimed directors, actors, and films that have gained international recognition. This cultural significance of cinema in Belgium has contributed to the continued popularity of theaters and the demand for cinema tickets. Furthermore, the Belgian government has implemented policies to support the local film industry, including subsidies and tax incentives. These measures have encouraged the production of Belgian films and have helped create a vibrant local film industry. The promotion of local films has also attracted audiences to theaters, boosting the demand for cinema tickets.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Cinema Tickets market in Belgium is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as disposable income and consumer spending patterns. Belgium has a relatively high per capita income, which provides individuals with the financial means to spend on leisure activities such as going to the cinema. Moreover, the stable economic conditions in the country have instilled confidence in consumers, leading to increased discretionary spending on entertainment. In conclusion, the Cinema Tickets market in Belgium is experiencing growth due to customer preferences for the immersive theater experience, the adoption of online ticket booking platforms, and the demand for premium cinema experiences. The cultural significance of cinema in Belgium and government support for the local film industry further contribute to the market's development. The underlying macroeconomic factors, including disposable income and consumer confidence, also play a role in driving the demand for cinema tickets in Belgium.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
