Italian audiovisual market trends and funding

Overview

The Italian audiovisual sector reached a market value of €16.8 billion in 2025, marking a 3.1% increase driven largely by the growth of online video and streaming services. Despite this market expansion, the industry faced a 7.4% decline in production investments for cinema, television, and video-on-demand, falling to €2 billion. This downturn was attributed to uncertainty surrounding public funding frameworks and regulatory changes to tax incentives.

In response to regional production needs, the Emilia-Romagna government allocated approximately €1.28 million to support 19 film and audiovisual projects scheduled for 2026 and 2027. This funding, managed via the Emilia-Romagna Film Commission, covers various formats including narrative feature films, television works, and documentaries.
