European video software markets

DVD spending is stablising as the decline in prices decelerates. The East European market is catching up with the West. The market for VHS cassettes has all but disappeared completely. Growth in the DVD retail market was maintained in 2006, volume sales in Europe increasing by 10 per cent from 663.5m units in 2005 to 728.3m. Once again, however, the rise in the number of units sold did not fully translate into growth in value as the average consumer price of a retail DVD sank by eight per cent year-on-year from around €14.00 in 2005 to about €12.90 in 2006.

World video turns corner

World consumer spending on buying and renting video software fell for the first time in eight years in 2005. Consumers worldwide spent $51.8bn on video software in 2005 - down more than six percent on the amount spent in 2004. DVD software at a new high in 2005 - up five per cent compared with the previous year to $48.1bn - was insufficient to compensate for a 62 per cent fall to $3.4bn in VHS spending. In 2004 the digital format posted worldwide growth of 40 per cent, and retail sales of 1.9bn units. In 2005, growth slowed to 11 per cent in volume, generating retail sales of 2.1bn units.

European video software markets

DVD volume sales continue to climb but spending fell in 2005. Retail DVD sales continued to grow in 2005 albeit at a slower rate than in previous years. Volume sales of DVD increased by 15 per cent to 657m units, accounting for 94 per cent of total European video sales. However, the gain in volume sales failed to be translated into spending as the average price of a retail DVD in Europe declined by around 13 per cent in 2005.

The rise of online video rental

Developing an attractive consumer proposition is gaining ground on the bricks-and-mortar tradition The business model developed by Netflix - of multiple DVD borrowings delivered by postal services for a fixed monthly fee - is being adopted by other so-called rentailers and is gaining ground in the marketplace. It avoids the disadvantages perceived by consumers of having to visit a store twice to choose and return a title, with the risk of fines for late returns. But the model has its own issues to contend with.
