Drive In Movie Theater Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2024 – 2032


The Global Drive In Movie Theater Market was valued at USD 5.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% between 2024 and 2032. This growth is fueled by the innovative use of existing spaces, such as restaurant parking lots, which provide an economical and accessible venue for outdoor movie screenings. This approach minimizes the need for new infrastructure, creating a convenient and affordable entertainment option while offering a distinctive cinematic experience.

The up-to-20-foot screen segment is set to grow at a CAGR of 6% through 2032, reaching USD 3.7 billion by 2023-2032. These screen sizes are particularly popular for their ability to deliver high-quality visuals while maintaining cost-efficiency and practicality. Their adaptability makes them an ideal choice for smaller audiences and a range of vehicle types, providing an optimal balance of size and viewing experience. This affordability and functionality have made 20-foot screens a preferred option for independent and small-scale drive-in operators.

In terms of venue, the restaurant parking lot segment accounted for 58% of the market share in 2023. These spaces are increasingly utilized due to their availability during off-peak hours and their potential to transform into outdoor entertainment hubs. By repurposing parking areas, restaurant owners and drive-in operators create a mutually beneficial arrangement: restaurants attract more patrons, and theaters capitalize on existing infrastructure to meet the growing demand for unique, outdoor leisure activities.

U.S. drive-in movie theater market is forecast to reach USD 1 billion by 2032, leading the North American region. While the popularity of drive-ins waned during the rise of multiplex cinemas in the late 20th century, their revival has been driven by increasing interest in outdoor activities and the enduring charm of retro experiences. The drive-in movie theater market continues to thrive, blending nostalgia with modern consumer preferences for outdoor entertainment. The efficient use of existing spaces, coupled with advancements in screen technology and evolving viewing habits, positions the industry for sustained growth in the coming years.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
