Online Movie Ticketing Services Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The global online movie ticketing services market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.77% between 2025 and 2030.
The online movie ticketing service market is estimated to surge over the forecast period due to increasing digitalization and Internet penetration, raising the number of people using the Internet for e-retail services, including booking movie tickets online for convenience and saving time. Rising investments by market players to make their booking websites and mobile apps more user-friendly are further contributing to this market’s growth globally.
However, there is the availability of a substitute for online movie ticketing in the market, which is purchasing over-the-counter tickets. The convenience charges and internet handling fees are not applied to over-the-counter ticket purchases, making them relatively cheaper. Hence, this factor is restraining the market growth of online movie ticketing services.
