Analyst Opinion

The Cinema Tickets market in Bulgaria has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and favorable local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Bulgarian consumers have shown a strong preference for cinema experiences, with a growing demand for high-quality films and immersive viewing experiences. This has led to an increase in ticket sales and a rise in the number of cinema-goers. Additionally, there is a growing interest in international films, especially those from Hollywood, which has further contributed to the growth of the market.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Bulgarian Cinema Tickets market is the increasing popularity of online ticket booking platforms. This trend has been driven by the convenience and ease of use offered by these platforms, allowing customers to book their tickets in advance and choose their preferred seats. Online ticket booking platforms also provide customers with access to special offers and discounts, further incentivizing them to use these platforms. Another trend in the market is the rise of premium cinema experiences. Cinemas in Bulgaria are increasingly offering premium services such as luxury seating, gourmet food and beverages, and advanced audiovisual technologies. These premium experiences cater to the preferences of customers who are willing to pay a higher price for a more luxurious and immersive cinema experience.

Local special circumstances:
Bulgaria's growing middle class and improving economic conditions have contributed to the growth of the Cinema Tickets market. As disposable incomes have increased, more people have been able to afford cinema tickets and indulge in leisure activities such as watching movies in theaters. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to support the development of the film industry, including tax incentives for film production and the establishment of film festivals. These initiatives have helped to promote the local film industry and generate interest in Bulgarian films.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Cinema Tickets market in Bulgaria can also be attributed to underlying macroeconomic factors. The country's stable economic growth and low unemployment rate have created a favorable environment for consumer spending. As consumers have more disposable income, they are more likely to spend on leisure activities such as going to the cinema. Additionally, the increasing number of international film releases and the availability of diverse film genres have contributed to the growth of the market, as consumers have more options to choose from. In conclusion, the Cinema Tickets market in Bulgaria has experienced significant growth due to changing customer preferences, such as a demand for high-quality films and immersive experiences, as well as favorable local special circumstances, including the rise of online ticket booking platforms and the availability of premium cinema experiences. The underlying macroeconomic factors, such as Bulgaria's stable economic growth and low unemployment rate, have also played a role in driving the growth of the market.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

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.
