The film industry is continuously growing, despite occasional spikes or an atypical year like 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to data collected by the Quebec film and television council (QFTC), the audiovisual sector in Quebec recorded production values of 2 Billion CAD in 2019, including 839M CAD for foreign film production and related production services, a rise of 18% compared to 2018. According to the BCTQ, the overall market projections for Quebec in 2023 stand at 2.24 Billion CAD.

It’s noteworthy that the overall growth perspective of the industry is excellent with a steady increase in the number of productions, particularly in TV series and mini-series for online platforms like Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV, Disney Plus, which are gaining more and more favor among younger audiences.
