The Canadian Media Producers Association has released their annual economic report, Profile 2025, which indicates that the film and television production industry in Canada generated $10.2 billion in production volume in the 2024/25 fiscal year, a 4.4 per cent increase year over year. The sector also contributed nearly $12 billion to the country’s GDP, and its workforce reached 181,360 jobs, establishing an economic footprint that stands alongside major Canadian industries such as auto manufacturing, oil and gas extraction, and mining.
The 2025 report showed an increase in foreign production activity, rising by 9.5 per cent, reflecting a partial rebound from the significant reduction in production caused by two prolonged Hollywood strikes in 2023. Production of Canadian film and television content, however, decreased by 2.2 per cent, marking a second consecutive year of decline.
A summary of the key findings, along with a link to the report, are available on the CMPA’s website.
