Film and video production refers to the process of creating visual content through a blend of creative and technical efforts. It encompasses several stages, including conceptualization, scripting, filming, and editing, during which a team of professionals collaborates to bring ideas to fruition. The goal of film and video production is to develop engaging and impactful narratives that convey specific messages or evoke emotions, requiring expertise in areas such as direction, cinematography, sound design, and post-production.
The primary types of film and video production include animation, commercials, films, music videos, television shows, and other video content. Animated content consists of films, videos, or sequences where characters and environments are crafted using methods like traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop-motion, and various other motion design techniques. Animation production can range from small to large scale and is utilized by film companies, studios, and other entities.

The film and video production market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $355.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of regional OTT platforms, increasing demand for original and high-quality content, greater consumption of short-form videos, rising engagement through interactive storytelling, and a surge in international co-productions. Key trends expected during this period include the widespread adoption of 4K and 8K resolution cameras, advancements in post-production software and visual effects (VFX), growth of cloud-based editing and storage solutions, the use of motion capture and facial recognition technologies for animation, and the deployment of drones for high-quality aerial cinematography.
The growing demand for streaming content is expected to drive the expansion of the film and video production market in the coming years. Streaming content refers to digital media such as movies, TV shows, or music, delivered over the internet in real time, enabling users to access it instantly without the need to download. This rising demand is fueled by consumers' increasing preference for on-demand entertainment and the convenience of accessing a wide variety of content anytime and across multiple devices. Streaming platforms provide a global distribution channel that supports film and video production by generating revenue through subscriptions, pay-per-view, and advertising, which in turn allows producers to fund larger and more ambitious projects. For example, according to USwitch Ltd., a UK-based price comparison service provider, Amazon Prime Video accounted for 42.2% of all new streaming subscribers in 2023, an increase of 1.7% compared to 2022. Thus, the surge in streaming content consumption is propelling growth in the film and video production market.

For instance, in May 2025, Google LLC, a US-based technology company, launched the 100 Zeros initiative for film and TV production, which focuses on scouting and co-producing projects using AI and spatial computing technologies. The initiative aims to support innovative filmmaking and integrate new technologies into both production and marketing.
