The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show’s popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from “Below Average” to “Exceptional”. A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show’s performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the “Average” range in the United States and in the “Good” range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the “Outstanding” performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
As an entertainment executive, you are always seeking insights and strategies to make smart decisions about content that will engage and retain audiences. One valuable tool for this is demand data, which uses audience behavior to provide insights on show preferences and popular trends. In this article, we’ll use the example of "American Horror Story" in Sweden to illustrate how demand data can be used to make more informed content decisions.

It uses data to reveal the dollar value contribution of any title to any platform in any region. By looking at the exceptional demand that "American Horror Story" has in Sweden- 13.9 times the audience demand of the average show- you can get an idea of its monetary worth.

You can analyze its demand over time using the longevity measure. For this series, demand has been exceptional.

The momentum of the show is likewise exceptional, with a sharp demand spike mid-October 2023. If you're considering acquiring or distributing the show, you can use this data to make more informed content decisions.
Are you wondering the types of titles to acquire or produce? Demand data can provide you with the necessary information to select the right type of content that is resonating with viewers.
