Analyst Opinion

The Instant Messaging Advertising market in Southern Asia is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing popularity of instant messaging apps in the region.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Southern Asia have shown a strong preference for using instant messaging apps as their primary mode of communication. These apps offer a convenient and cost-effective way to stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues. With the rise of smartphones and affordable internet access, the adoption of instant messaging apps has skyrocketed in the region. As a result, advertisers are increasingly targeting these platforms to reach a large and engaged audience.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Southern Asia is the integration of advertising within the messaging experience. Advertisers are finding innovative ways to seamlessly incorporate their messages into the user interface of popular messaging apps. This approach allows them to capture the attention of users without disrupting their conversations or browsing experience. By blending in with the natural flow of the app, these advertisements are more likely to be noticed and engaged with by users. Another trend in the market is the use of personalized and targeted advertising. Instant messaging apps collect a wealth of user data, including demographics, interests, and behavior patterns. Advertisers are leveraging this data to deliver highly relevant and personalized ads to individual users. By tailoring their messages to specific segments of the audience, advertisers can increase the effectiveness of their campaigns and drive higher engagement and conversion rates.

Local special circumstances:
Southern Asia is a diverse region with a wide range of languages and cultural preferences. Advertisers operating in this market need to be sensitive to these local nuances and adapt their messaging accordingly. Localizing advertisements in terms of language, imagery, and cultural references is crucial to resonate with the target audience and establish a strong connection. Advertisers that successfully navigate these cultural barriers are more likely to succeed in the Southern Asian market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growing economy and rising disposable incomes in Southern Asia are contributing to the development of the Instant Messaging Advertising market. As more people in the region gain access to smartphones and the internet, the potential audience for advertisers is expanding rapidly. This presents a significant opportunity for brands to reach and engage with a large consumer base. Additionally, the increasing digitalization of businesses in the region is driving the demand for digital advertising solutions, including instant messaging advertising. In conclusion, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Southern Asia is thriving due to the widespread adoption of instant messaging apps and the increasing demand for personalized and targeted advertising. Advertisers that understand the preferences of the local audience and tailor their messages accordingly are well-positioned to capitalize on the growing market potential in the region.

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), 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 Consumer Insightsis reweighted for representativeness.
