The film and video market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $308.47 billion in 2024 to $328.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased numbers of television channels, increasing internet penetration, increase in tme (technology, media and entertainment) mergers, growth in world population, rapid urbanization and strong economic growth in emerging markets.

The film and video market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $417.99 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for video content, rising use of social media platforms, digitization and increase in mobile video viewing. Major trends in the forecast period include autonomous drones aiding film and video production, 3D previsualization, motion capture technology, virtual production, 4K technology and streaming and on-demand platforms.

The prevalence of mobile video viewing has experienced a notable increase in recent years, and this trend is expected to persist and expand further throughout the forecast period. The primary driving forces behind this surge include the growing internet penetration and the increased use of smartphones. As an illustration, according to Marketsplash, a US-based company specializing in digital marketing, design, and online publication services, an estimated 3 billion online users, on average, viewed or watched video content monthly by 2022, with mobile devices contributing to a remarkable 90% of all video views. Consequently, the substantial rise in mobile video consumption is anticipated to be a key driver for the film and video market in the forecast period.

The growth of the film industry is poised to contribute to the expansion of the film and video market in the upcoming years. The film industry, encompassing various technical and commercial entities involved in filmmaking, includes film production firms, movie studios, cinematography, animation, scripting, and pre-production. Film and video play crucial roles in different phases of film production, including production, pre-production, post-production, distribution, and education. As an example, based on data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics in June 2022, the total income of film and video production enterprises witnessed a substantial increase of 98.7% (amounting to $2.27 billion), reaching $4.57 billion in 2021-22. Hence, the burgeoning film industry is a significant driver for the film and video market.

Autonomous drones are gaining popularity among both mainstream and indie film and video makers due to their ability to enhance the film viewing experience. These drones are cost-effective, lightweight, and mitigate the risks associated with traditional equipment such as cranes and cable cams during filmmaking. Equipped with multiple rotors, built-in high-resolution cameras, and sophisticated algorithms for capturing videos and images, autonomous drones offer a 360-degree experiential recording experience with minimal human intervention. They are particularly valuable for capturing aerial shots, providing footage and images without the need for a cameraman on an actual helicopter. Key companies offering autonomous drones include DJI, Parrot, Yuneec, Kespry, Insitu, and EHANG.

Major companies in the film and video market are directing their efforts toward innovative products such as pro camera platforms to better cater to the demands of their existing consumer base. A professional camera platform refers to a system that provides users with professional-grade camera features and functionalities, including manual control, RAW capture, and advanced video recording capabilities, among other features. These platforms are available on various devices, including mobile devices, DSLRs, and mirrorless cameras. For example, in March 2023, SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd., a China-based technological firm specializing in commercial unmanned aerial vehicles for aerial photography and videography, unveiled the Ronin 4D Flex. The Ronin 4D Flex presents a novel approach to utilizing the Ronin 4D premium cinema camera platform, allowing operators to detach the Zenmuse X9 gimbal camera from the main body. This design reduces handheld weight and size, providing greater flexibility in camera movement. Additionally, DJI introduced its first cinema-grade zoom lens, the DL PZ 17-28mm T3 Lens, ensuring 100% native focus and range for an unparalleled level of picture quality within the Ronin 4D system.
