Australia TV & Video Market Trends:
Rising Demand for Streaming Services
The surge in the demand for streaming services has been a key factor in shaping the Australian TV and video market. Consumers are increasingly shifting away from traditional cable TV to subscription-based streaming platforms, mainly driven by the desire for on-demand access to a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, and original programming. The convenience of watching content on various devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs, further fuels this trend. As streaming services continue to diversify their offerings and invest in exclusive content, their popularity is expected to keep rising, thereby influencing market dynamics significantly. For instance, industry reports suggest that CBS series are highly popular in Australia, with a 6.2% share of the total demand, the highest among all markets reported and only trailing Netflix. BBC content also performed strongly, holding a 5.4% share, the second highest globally, though still below its demand in the UK. Amazon Prime Video originals saw notable growth, increasing their share of demand from 2.3% in 2022 to 2.8% in 2023 in Australia.
Changing Consumer Preferences
Changing consumer preferences play a significant role in driving the Australian TV and video market toward growth. Modern viewers increasingly favor on-demand and binge-watching experiences over traditional scheduled TV programming. The rise of personalized content recommendations and user-friendly interfaces has catered to these evolving tastes, allowing viewers to access and enjoy content tailored to their interests. For instance, as per industry data, in 2023, Australia exhibited a strong preference for crime shows, with 21.5% of demand for all series dedicated to this genre, surpassing the global average of 19.1%. Conversely, animated content witnessed limited appeal, capturing just 16.8% of demand, well below the global average of 21.1% and the second lowest in the report. Procedural series, however, performed exceptionally well in Australia, making up 3.6% of the total demand as compared to the mere 0.8% of available titles. Additionally, Australia had the lowest demand for music shows, with only 5.6% of interest in this genre.
Additionally, the growing popularity of mobile viewing options reflects a shift toward more flexible consumption habits, where people seek entertainment that fits their lifestyle and viewing patterns. This shift in consumer behavior is prompting media companies and content providers to adapt their strategies, leading to innovations in content delivery and marketing approaches in the TV and video market. For instance, according to industry reports, Australian production companies invested over $1 billion in 2023 in local scripted screen drama, marking their second-highest spending on such productions. This significant investment reflects a strong commitment to the local film and TV industry.
