Analyst Opinion

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

Customer preferences:
Customers in Germany are increasingly using instant messaging platforms as a primary means of communication. With the rise in smartphone penetration and the popularity of messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, the reach of instant messaging platforms has expanded exponentially. This has led to a shift in customer preferences, with more users spending a significant amount of time on these platforms. As a result, advertisers are recognizing the potential of reaching a large and engaged audience through instant messaging advertising.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Germany is the increasing use of personalized and targeted advertisements. Advertisers are leveraging user data and insights to deliver relevant and tailored ads to individual users. This not only enhances the user experience by providing ads that are more relevant to their interests but also increases the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Additionally, the use of interactive and engaging ad formats, such as videos and GIFs, is becoming more prevalent in the instant messaging space. These trends are driven by the desire to capture and retain user attention in a highly competitive advertising landscape.

Local special circumstances:
Germany has a strong data protection culture and strict regulations regarding the use of personal data. This has led to a more cautious approach to data collection and targeted advertising compared to some other countries. Advertisers in Germany need to navigate these regulations and ensure compliance with data protection laws. However, this also presents an opportunity for advertisers to build trust with consumers by being transparent and respectful of their privacy.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Germany has a robust economy and a high level of disposable income, which creates a favorable environment for advertising investment. The country's strong digital infrastructure and high internet penetration rate further support the growth of the Instant Messaging Advertising market. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies and increased reliance on instant messaging platforms for communication. This has further fueled the growth of the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Germany as advertisers seek to reach consumers who are spending more time online. In conclusion, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Germany is experiencing growth and development driven by customer preferences for instant messaging platforms, the use of personalized and targeted advertisements, local special circumstances related to data protection, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as a strong economy and increased digital adoption. Advertisers in Germany are leveraging these trends and market conditions to reach a large and engaged audience through instant messaging advertising.

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.
