Italian content investment fell 7.4% in 2025 on tax credit uncertainty

The Rome MIA Market Report, as covered by Variety, indicates that spending on content for Italy’s film, TV and streaming industries fell 7.4% year over year to €2 billion ($2.24 billion) in 2025. Scripted content was affected the most due to uncertainty surrounding government support for tax credits and the shift in audiences from linear to streaming platforms.
