Customer preferences: Colombian consumers have shown a strong preference for personalized and targeted advertising. They appreciate receiving messages that are relevant to their interests and needs. This has led to an increased demand for direct messaging advertising, as it allows businesses to reach their target audience directly and deliver tailored messages. Additionally, consumers in Colombia are becoming increasingly tech-savvy and are more likely to engage with brands through digital platforms.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Direct Messaging Advertising market in Colombia is the rise of mobile messaging apps.

These messaging apps offer various advertising options, including sponsored messages and in-app ads, allowing brands to engage with their audience in a more personal and interactive way. Another trend in the market is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots in direct messaging advertising.

Furthermore, the country has a young and tech-savvy population, which is more receptive to digital advertising and open to trying new products and services.

As the middle class continues to expand and disposable incomes rise, consumers have more purchasing power, leading to increased advertising spending by businesses. Additionally, the government's efforts to promote digital transformation and innovation have created a supportive ecosystem for the development of the direct messaging advertising market. In conclusion, the Direct Messaging Advertising market in Colombia is thriving due to customer preferences for personalized advertising, the rise of mobile messaging apps, the integration of AI and chatbots, the country's growing digital economy, and favorable macroeconomic factors.

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on Direct Messaging Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses via e-mail, SMS, direct mail, messengers, web push, telemarketing, and instant messaging.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Consumer Insights Global survey), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, usage). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, number of smartphone users, internet coverage, and number of urban households. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function is well suited to forecast digital products due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption, whereas exponential trend smoothing (ETS) is more suited for projecting steady growth in traditional advertising markets. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and 4G coverage.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development). Data from the Statista Consumer Insights Global survey is reweighted for representativeness.

All advertising markets across the globe win, yet some win more than others. Ad spending worldwide reached almost 733 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, up less than three percent from the previous year. For comparison, in 2022, Switzerland ranked 20th among the leading economies by gross domestic product (GDP) with a result exceeding 800 billion dollars. Whereas global ad revenues concentrate in areas with either large populations or high purchase power – preferably both – their evolution depends on a larger set of indicators. It was forecast that, in 2024, South Asia will be the world's fastest-growing ad market, and the only out of nine with a double-digit increase rate: 12.1 percent. The second-placed region, comprising the United States and Canada, was projected to see its ad expenditure rise 7.6 percent.
