The Video on Demand Monthly Report, co-released by GfK and NPA Conseil since July 2007, has revealed that the VoD market* in France is making good headway. Indeed, Year to Date sales turnover is now topping €20 million, corresponding to 5.8 million paid content being watched. The Q3 figures, with a +25% turnover increase compared to Q2, show an accelerating growth rate. This could consequently result in a +35% turnover increase in Q4, bringing total turnover to €30.5 million for 2007.

Compared to the 2006 estimation (around €16 million), the VoD market turnover is expected to double in 2007.

Mainly focused on rental sales (around 99% of the content watched in volume), VoD in France is heavily concentrated on movies, with more than 67% market share (based on volume, without integration of subscription VoD sales).
