Impact of Filming on Cultural Affinity and Tourism among viewers of Made in Germany content

Celebrating European culture beyond borders in a way only storytelling can do

In 2025, MPA commissioned a global research study with 2CV to assess the soft power impact of audiovisual content distributed on global streaming platforms.

The findings indicate that viewers of Made in Germany content are:

  • 2.1 times more likely to express an intention to visit Germany.

  • 2.2 times more likely to indicate an intention to purchase German products.

  • 1.5 times more likely to report a favourable perception of German culture.

These results suggest a measurable relationship between exposure to locally produced content and positive perceptions of Germany internationally.
