    Analyst Opinion

    The Instant Messaging Advertising market in Americas is experiencing significant growth and development due to a variety of factors.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in the Americas are increasingly turning to instant messaging platforms as a primary means of communication. This shift in communication preferences has created a lucrative opportunity for advertisers to reach a large and engaged audience. With the rise of mobile devices and the convenience of instant messaging, customers are spending more time on these platforms, providing advertisers with a captive audience for their messages.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Americas is the increased use of targeted and personalized advertising. Advertisers are leveraging the vast amount of data collected by instant messaging platforms to deliver relevant and tailored advertisements to users. This approach not only increases the effectiveness of advertising campaigns but also enhances the user experience by providing them with content that is more likely to be of interest to them. Another trend in the market is the integration of e-commerce capabilities within instant messaging platforms. This allows advertisers to directly engage with customers and drive sales through in-app purchases. With the rise of social commerce and the increasing popularity of online shopping, this integration provides a seamless and convenient shopping experience for customers, while also generating revenue for advertisers.

    Local special circumstances:
    The Americas is a diverse region with multiple countries, each with its own unique market characteristics. In North America, for example, the Instant Messaging Advertising market is highly developed, with a large number of users and a mature advertising ecosystem.

In Latin America, on the other hand, the Instant Messaging Advertising market is still evolving. With a growing number of internet users and smartphone penetration, advertisers are increasingly targeting this market to reach a young and tech-savvy audience. However, there are challenges in terms of language diversity and cultural nuances that advertisers need to consider when developing their advertising campaigns.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth of the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Americas is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The region has a strong economy, with high levels of consumer spending and a growing middle class. This provides advertisers with a large and affluent target audience for their products and services. Additionally, the Americas has a high mobile penetration rate, with a large percentage of the population owning smartphones.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on Instant Messaging Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers the advertising budget used for distributing instant messaging 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 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, and internet coverage. 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 users.

    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.

    Advertising worldwide – statistics & facts

    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.
