Analyst Opinion

The Instant Messaging Advertising market in Hong Kong has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the increasing popularity of instant messaging platforms.

Customer preferences:
Hong Kong consumers have shown a strong preference for instant messaging platforms as a means of communication. This is due to the convenience and efficiency of instant messaging, as well as the ability to easily share multimedia content. As a result, advertisers are increasingly turning to these platforms to reach their target audience.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Hong Kong is the rise of mobile advertising. With the widespread use of smartphones and the increasing amount of time spent on mobile devices, advertisers are focusing their efforts on reaching consumers through mobile instant messaging platforms. This trend is expected to continue as mobile usage continues to grow. Another trend in the market is the use of personalized and targeted advertising. Instant messaging platforms have access to a wealth of user data, allowing advertisers to deliver highly targeted and relevant ads to their audience. This not only improves the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, but also enhances the user experience by delivering content that is tailored to their interests and preferences.

Local special circumstances:
Hong Kong is a highly connected and tech-savvy city, with a high smartphone penetration rate. This makes it an ideal market for instant messaging advertising, as consumers are already familiar with and actively using these platforms. Additionally, Hong Kong has a large and diverse population, providing advertisers with a wide range of target audiences to reach.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Hong Kong is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Hong Kong has a strong economy and a high standard of living, which means that consumers have more disposable income to spend on products and services. This provides advertisers with a lucrative market to target and encourages them to invest in advertising on instant messaging platforms. Furthermore, Hong Kong is a global financial hub and a gateway to the Chinese market. This makes it an attractive location for international brands and advertisers looking to expand their reach in the region. As a result, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Hong Kong is not only driven by local advertisers, but also by international companies looking to tap into the city's consumer base. In conclusion, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Hong Kong is experiencing growth due to changing customer preferences, the rise of mobile advertising, the use of personalized and targeted advertising, the city's tech-savvy population, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As instant messaging platforms continue to evolve and become more integrated into consumers' daily lives, the market is expected to further expand in the coming years.

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.
