Press Release Body: India, 5 October, 2007: RocSearch, a fast-growing, UK-based,
business research and analytics firm, released a report analyzing the global film
industry from 1995 to 2005.
This RocSearch report analyses the global revenues that come from the worldwide
production and distribution of movies. It places individual focus on different
countries and their level of investments.
The study explores the globalization of cinema with comparison of the key filmmaking
territories and profiles of the major production houses. A PEST analysis and a
future outlook of the worldwide film industry have also been presented.
The report notes that the global film industry is highly concentrated with Hollywood
studios dominating all the major markets such as Europe and Japan. However, the Asia
Pacific region accounted for the majority (59.9%) of world cinema admissions in
2005.
RocSearch analysts forecast that, barring some radical changes in government
policies, the industry is likely to experience single digit growth over the next
four to five-year horizon and post revenues exceeding US$110 billion from US$21.5
billion in 2005.
The report findings reveal that Internet piracy is the leading cause of harm to the
industry than any other mode of piracy and, in 2005, MPAA studios lost US$2.3
billion worldwide to internet piracy.
The report also analyzes the effects of popularity and competition from other modes
of delivery channels like DVD and VCDs. It throws light on the use of technology by
major companies to develop new revenue models and reduce distribution costs.
