Analyst Opinion

The Direct Mail Advertising market in MENA is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by various factors influencing consumer behavior and market dynamics in the region.

Customer preferences: Customers in the MENA region are increasingly valuing personalized and targeted marketing efforts, which is fueling the demand for direct mail advertising. The ability of direct mail to provide a tangible and personalized experience to consumers resonates well in a market where traditional values and personal relationships hold significant importance.

Trends in the market: In countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, there is a noticeable trend towards integrating digital technologies with direct mail advertising campaigns. This fusion allows for more interactive and engaging marketing strategies that cater to the tech-savvy population in these countries. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce platforms in the region has created opportunities for direct mail advertising to complement online marketing efforts and drive traffic to digital platforms.

Local special circumstances: One unique aspect of the MENA region is its diverse cultural landscape, with each country having its own set of customs and traditions. Direct mail advertisers need to be mindful of these cultural nuances when designing their campaigns to ensure they resonate with the local population. Moreover, the high internet penetration rates in countries like Qatar and Bahrain present a challenge for direct mail advertisers to cut through the digital clutter and capture the attention of consumers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The economic diversification efforts in countries like the UAE and Qatar have led to a growing middle class with higher purchasing power, creating a ripe market for direct mail advertisers to target. Additionally, the relatively young population in countries like Egypt and Jordan presents a demographic dividend for advertisers looking to tap into the youth market. As disposable incomes rise and consumer spending patterns evolve, the direct mail advertising market in MENA is poised for further growth and innovation.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on Direct Mail Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers the advertising budget used for distributing direct mail advertisements.

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), 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 households, and population in urban areas. 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 internet 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 Consumer Insightsis reweighted for representativeness.
