Restrictions due to the COVID-19 emergency continue to slow down the recovery of the market. however, in the last four months of the year, DVD and Blu-ray movie releases contributed to improving sales trends.
The lockdown first and then the subsequent periodic restrictions to which we have been subject over the last 2 years, have favored the strong growth of digital content users (+54% compared to 2021 and +12% compared to 2020). The digital sector is worth 60.5% of the total, amounting to 107 million euros.
