Pornography in Europe has been dominated by a few pan-European producers and distributors, the most notable of which is the Private Media Group that had successfully claimed the throne of Color Climax Corporation in early 1990s. Most European countries also have local pornography producers, from Portugal (e.g. Naturalvideo) to Serbia (e.g. Hexor), with varying potentials of competition with international producers.

Hungary is noted for having liberal pornography laws. The Czech Republic, with its specialised companies such as the spanking producers Lupus Pictures, gay pornography label Bel Ami, and for having become the regular European destination of the U.S. and Japanese producers as well as its culturally open attitude to pornography and extremely low religiousness, is a likely rival. Romania is also considered a "rising star" of European pornography in mid-2000s, mainly thanks to pornographic auteur Raul Cristian of Floyd-Agency.

The once popular style of Euro-chic pornography represented by directors Lasse Braun, Joe d'Amato, and Michel Gentil has lost ground and the Pierre Woodman style of video porn now attracts a larger audience. A few directors like Luca Damiano, Mario Salieri, and Alain Payet continue with the "older" cinematographic and dramatic styles that often distinguish European pornography from those of other cultures.
