Analyst Opinion

The Instant Messaging Advertising market in Morocco is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing popularity of instant messaging apps among the country's population.

Customer preferences:
Moroccan consumers are increasingly turning to instant messaging apps as their primary means of communication, surpassing traditional methods such as SMS and phone calls. This shift in consumer behavior has created a valuable opportunity for advertisers to reach their target audience through these platforms. Instant messaging apps offer a more personalized and interactive experience, allowing advertisers to engage with consumers in a more direct and engaging manner. Additionally, the ability to share multimedia content such as images, videos, and GIFs further enhances the effectiveness of advertising campaigns on these platforms.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Morocco is the rise of branded stickers and emojis. Moroccan users are increasingly using stickers and emojis to express themselves in conversations, and advertisers have recognized the potential of this trend. By creating branded stickers and emojis, advertisers can integrate their brand into the daily conversations of users, increasing brand visibility and engagement. This trend is particularly popular among younger demographics, who are more likely to use stickers and emojis in their conversations. Another trend in the market is the use of chatbots for advertising purposes. Chatbots are automated messaging systems that can interact with users in a conversational manner. Advertisers are leveraging chatbots to deliver personalized and targeted advertisements to users based on their preferences and interests. This allows for a more tailored and relevant advertising experience, increasing the effectiveness of campaigns.

Local special circumstances:
Morocco has a relatively young population, with a large percentage of the population being under the age of 30. This demographic is highly active on instant messaging apps and is more receptive to advertising on these platforms. Advertisers are capitalizing on this opportunity by creating content that resonates with the interests and preferences of this demographic. Furthermore, Morocco has a growing middle class with increasing purchasing power. This presents a lucrative market for advertisers looking to promote their products and services. Instant messaging apps provide a cost-effective way for advertisers to reach this target audience and drive sales.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Morocco's digital landscape is rapidly evolving, with an increasing number of people gaining access to the internet and smartphones. This digital transformation is driving the adoption of instant messaging apps and creating a fertile ground for advertising. As more Moroccans gain access to smartphones and the internet, the Instant Messaging Advertising market is expected to continue its growth trajectory. Additionally, the Moroccan government has been actively promoting digital innovation and entrepreneurship, creating an enabling environment for the development of the Instant Messaging Advertising market. This support from the government, coupled with the country's favorable economic conditions, is attracting both local and international advertisers to invest in the market. In conclusion, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Morocco is thriving due to the changing consumer preferences, the rise of branded stickers and emojis, and the use of chatbots for advertising. The country's young population, growing middle class, and supportive government policies are further fueling the market's growth. As Morocco's digital landscape continues to evolve, the Instant Messaging Advertising market is expected to expand, presenting new opportunities for advertisers to reach 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.
