The market for physical media, such as DVDs, Blu-rays, and Ultra HD Blu-rays, has continued its gradual decline due to the increasing popularity of streaming services. However, the latest figures suggest that the decline has slowed somewhat compared to previous years. In the United States, spending on physical formats dropped by 9.3% in 2025, reaching $870 million. This is a less steep decline than the 23.4% decrease recorded between 2023 and 2024, when the market first dipped below the one billion dollar threshold. When compared to the historical peak of $16 billion in 2005, the market has still experienced a decline of more than 90% over two decades. In France, the trend is similar: the market saw a 12% volume decrease in 2024, with 9.3 million units sold, for a turnover of 144.3 million euros. Over ten years, the turnover from DVD and Blu-ray sales in France has halved, following a peak of 2 billion euros in 2004. A notable paradox is the performance of the premium segment of the market. In the United States, sales of Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD have increased by 12% in 2025, driven by collectors and home cinema enthusiasts who are less concerned with volume and more focused on quality. This trend is also seen in France, where the 4K Ultra HD segment has grown by 15%, reaching 900,000 units sold for a turnover of 24.9 million euros. In the U.S., a surprising development is that Generation Z is increasingly embracing DVDs and Blu-rays, viewing them as a form of "cultural rebellion" against the fatigue of managing multiple streaming subscriptions. The physical format is no longer competing with streaming in terms of volume, but instead is redefining itself as a niche product, emphasizing image quality, permanent ownership of a catalog, and the experience of collecting. Despite the overall decline, many publishers, both small and large, have continued to support the physical format through dedicated editorial efforts. One particularly ambitious project is Home Video Saga, a 2-hour docu-fiction exploring the evolution of physical media, using the Star Wars universe as a central theme. The project is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter, with plans to release multiple physical editions, including some that resemble the large, collectible formats of the laserdisc era. This endeavor is the brainchild of Jean-Antoine Lacolle, a veteran in the visual effects industry who has worked on numerous films, including High Tension, 36 Quai des Orfèvres, and Sirât. Lacolle, who began his career in television and later moved into visual effects, has a deep connection with physical media. Growing up with VHS tapes, he recalls spending his Saturdays in video rental stores and collecting Star Wars titles. The transition to DVDs sparked his passion for collecting, drawn to the enhanced audio and visual quality and the interactive features like animated menus. Inspired by controversies around the 4K releases of James Cameron's films, Lacolle began exploring the history of physical media formats. His project, Home Video Saga, aims to blend documentary and fiction, offering an immersive experience with HDR and immersive sound. While the project is ambitious and largely self-funded, Lacolle remains undeterred, emphasizing the importance of preserving the physical format's legacy.
