Analyst Opinion

The Direct Messaging Advertising market in D-A-CH is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences:
Customers in the D-A-CH region have shown a strong preference for direct messaging as a means of communication. This preference is driven by the convenience and immediacy of direct messaging platforms, which allow for real-time communication and quick response times. Additionally, customers appreciate the personalized nature of direct messaging, as it allows for one-on-one interactions and tailored messaging. As a result, businesses in the D-A-CH region are increasingly leveraging direct messaging as a key advertising channel to reach and engage with their target audience.

Trends in the market:
One major trend in the Direct Messaging Advertising market in D-A-CH is the increasing adoption of chatbots. Chatbots are automated messaging systems that can interact with customers in a conversational manner. They are being used by businesses to streamline customer service, provide instant responses to inquiries, and deliver personalized recommendations. The use of chatbots in direct messaging advertising allows businesses to scale their customer interactions and provide a seamless and efficient user experience. Another trend in the market is the integration of e-commerce capabilities within direct messaging platforms. This allows businesses to not only advertise their products or services, but also enable customers to make purchases directly within the messaging app. This integration of e-commerce functionality simplifies the customer journey and reduces friction, resulting in increased conversion rates and revenue for businesses.

Local special circumstances:
In the D-A-CH region, there are cultural and regulatory factors that influence the development of the Direct Messaging Advertising market. For example, Germany has strict data protection regulations, which require businesses to obtain explicit consent from users before sending them direct messages for advertising purposes. This has led businesses to adopt more transparent and permission-based approaches to direct messaging advertising in order to comply with these regulations and build trust with customers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The strong economic performance of the D-A-CH region is also contributing to the growth of the Direct Messaging Advertising market. The region has a high GDP per capita and a strong consumer purchasing power, which creates a favorable environment for businesses to invest in advertising and marketing initiatives. Additionally, the high smartphone penetration rate in the D-A-CH region provides a large user base for direct messaging platforms, further fueling the growth of the market. In conclusion, the Direct Messaging Advertising market in D-A-CH is experiencing growth and development due to customer preferences for direct messaging, the adoption of chatbots, the integration of e-commerce capabilities, local special circumstances such as data protection regulations, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as strong economic performance and high smartphone penetration.

Methodology

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.
