    Analyst Opinion

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

    Customer preferences:
    Colombian consumers have shown a strong preference for instant messaging platforms as a means of communication. With the increasing popularity of smartphones and internet penetration, more and more Colombians are using instant messaging apps to stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues. This has created a lucrative opportunity for advertisers to reach a large and engaged audience through these platforms.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Colombia is the rise of personalized and targeted advertising. Advertisers are increasingly using data analytics and artificial intelligence to understand consumer behavior and preferences. This allows them to deliver highly relevant and personalized ads to users based on their interests, demographics, and browsing history. By delivering ads that are tailored to the individual user, advertisers can increase the effectiveness of their campaigns and drive higher engagement and conversion rates. Another trend in the market is the integration of e-commerce within instant messaging platforms. Many messaging apps in Colombia are now offering in-app shopping features, allowing users to browse and purchase products without leaving the app. This presents a unique opportunity for advertisers to reach consumers at the point of purchase and drive immediate sales. By combining advertising and e-commerce, brands can create a seamless shopping experience for users and increase their chances of making a sale.

    Local special circumstances:
    Colombia has a young and tech-savvy population, with a high rate of smartphone adoption and internet usage. This has contributed to the rapid growth of instant messaging platforms in the country. Additionally, Colombia has a strong entrepreneurial culture, with many startups and small businesses using instant messaging apps as a cost-effective way to communicate with customers. This creates a fertile ground for advertising opportunities, as these businesses are looking to reach a wider audience and promote their products or services.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Colombia has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in consumer spending power. As a result, advertisers are investing more in digital advertising, including instant messaging platforms, to capture the attention of the growing middle class. Additionally, the Colombian government has implemented policies to promote digital innovation and entrepreneurship, which has further fueled the growth of the Instant Messaging Advertising market. In conclusion, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Colombia is thriving due to customer preferences for instant messaging platforms, the rise of personalized and targeted advertising, the integration of e-commerce within messaging apps, the young and tech-savvy population, and the favorable macroeconomic factors. As the market continues to evolve, advertisers in Colombia will need to stay ahead of the trends and leverage the unique opportunities offered by instant messaging platforms to effectively reach and engage their target audience.

    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.
