Thinking of Buying a DVD/Movie Rental Business in Australia? Here Are 3 Vital Questions to Ask

 

The Australian DVD/movie rental industry has faced steady decline due to the dominance of streaming services, but niche markets still offer investment potential.

 

In 2024, total industry revenue is projected to fall to $32.5 million, with an annualised decline of 16% through 2025.

 

Despite shrinking demand, opportunities exist in specialty film collections, gaming rentals, and collector’s editions. DVD kiosks and membership-based models also help businesses sustain revenue in rural and niche markets.

 

Buyers must evaluate business viability, market demand, and diversification strategies to ensure long-term profitability.

 

 

1. Is the Business Financially Viable?

 

Why It Matters:

 

The profitability of a DVD/movie rental business depends on diverse revenue streams and efficient inventory management.

 

Industry-wide profit margins are below 1%, making operational efficiency and alternative income sources critical.

 

What to Check:

  • Revenue sources: Does the business rely solely on DVD rentals, or does it generate income from gaming rentals, memorabilia, or merchandise sales?

  • Operating costs: What are the key expenses, such as rent, licensing fees, and staffing costs?

  • Inventory value: Are DVDs and Blu-rays frequently updated with popular and niche selections to maintain relevance?

  • Customer retention strategies: Does the business offer prepaid rental credits, subscription memberships, or loyalty rewards?

 

2. Does the Location & Market Position Support Growth?

 

Why It Matters:

 

The success of a DVD rental business depends on location accessibility and market positioning in areas with limited streaming access or strong demand for physical media.

 

What to Check:

  • Target audience: Does the business cater to collectors, foreign film enthusiasts, or customers with limited internet access?

  • Foot traffic & accessibility: Is the store or kiosk in a high-visibility area with easy access to parking?

  • Competitive landscape: Are there other entertainment alternatives nearby, such as gaming cafés or streaming subscription kiosks?

  • Market positioning: Is the business well-established in a niche, such as classic films, rare imports, or gaming rentals?

 

3. Is the Business Aligned with Industry Trends & Future Growth?

 

Why It Matters:

 

The DVD rental industry has evolved, with modern businesses incorporating online orders, kiosk rentals, and digital integration to stay relevant. Expanding beyond traditional rentals into exclusive film collections and merchandise helps drive long-term sustainability.

 

What to Check:

  • Technology integration: Does the business use a digital catalogue, online reservations, or self-service kiosks?

  • Alternative revenue streams: Is the business expanding into collectibles, gaming rentals, or merchandise sales?

  • Subscription models: Does the business offer membership programs, prepaid rental packages, or VIP discounts?

  • Regulatory compliance: Are all licensing agreements, movie rental permits, and copyright policies up to date?

 

Ready to Invest in a Thriving DVD/Movie Rental Business?

 

While the industry is in decline, niche markets and diversified revenue streams still present opportunities for profitability.

 

Success depends on strong branding, market positioning, and strategic customer retention. Buyers should conduct thorough financial analysis and assess demand to ensure long-term sustainability.
