Market Segmentation

• In 2022, the PC segment accounted for around 62.3% market share

On the basis of the platform, the global online movie ticketing services market is segmented into PC and mobile. The PC segment has established itself as the dominant force in the online movie ticketing services market, capturing the largest market share. Several key factors contribute to the PC segment's leadership. PCs have been a primary computing device for a significant portion of the population, especially in office and home environments.
