Analyst Opinion

The Instant Messaging Advertising market in Cameroon is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences:
In Cameroon, instant messaging has become an integral part of people's daily lives. With the increasing popularity of smartphones and the availability of affordable data plans, more and more Cameroonians are using instant messaging apps to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. This has created a large and engaged user base for instant messaging platforms, making them an attractive advertising channel for businesses.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Cameroon is the rise of mobile advertising. As the majority of Cameroonians access the internet through their smartphones, advertisers are increasingly focusing on mobile advertising to reach their target audience. Instant messaging apps provide a unique opportunity for advertisers to engage with users directly on their mobile devices, allowing for more personalized and targeted advertising campaigns. Another trend in the market is the integration of e-commerce within instant messaging apps. Many instant messaging platforms in Cameroon are now offering in-app shopping features, allowing users to browse and purchase products without leaving the app. This integration of e-commerce and instant messaging creates new opportunities for advertisers to promote their products and services directly to users within the app.

Local special circumstances:
Cameroon has a young and tech-savvy population, with a high percentage of the population under the age of 30. This demographic is highly active on instant messaging platforms, creating a fertile ground for advertisers to reach a large and engaged audience. Additionally, the increasing availability of affordable smartphones and data plans has made instant messaging apps accessible to a wider segment of the population, further fueling the growth of the market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Cameroon is also influenced by the country's overall economic development. Cameroon has been experiencing steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has created a favorable environment for advertisers, as consumers have more purchasing power and are more likely to engage with advertising messages. In conclusion, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Cameroon is witnessing significant growth and development. The preferences of customers, such as the widespread use of instant messaging apps and the rise of mobile advertising, are driving this growth. Additionally, local special circumstances, such as the young and tech-savvy population, and underlying macroeconomic factors, such as economic growth and increased consumer spending, are further contributing to the expansion of the market.

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.
