Analyst Opinion

The Direct Messaging Advertising market in Saudi Arabia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
In Saudi Arabia, there is a strong preference for direct messaging advertising due to its personalized and targeted nature. Customers appreciate receiving advertisements that are relevant to their interests and needs. Direct messaging allows companies to reach their target audience directly, resulting in higher engagement and conversion rates. Additionally, the convenience of receiving advertisements through messaging apps makes it easier for customers to access information about products and services.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Direct Messaging Advertising market in Saudi Arabia is the increasing use of messaging apps for communication. Messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Snapchat are widely popular among Saudi Arabian consumers. As a result, companies are leveraging these platforms to reach their target audience through direct messaging advertising. This trend is driven by the high smartphone penetration rate in the country and the growing reliance on mobile devices for communication. Another trend in the market is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots in direct messaging advertising. AI-powered chatbots are being used to provide personalized and interactive experiences to customers. These chatbots can understand customer preferences and behavior, allowing companies to deliver targeted advertisements that resonate with their audience. This trend is driven by the increasing adoption of AI technology in various industries and the desire to enhance customer engagement.

Local special circumstances:
Saudi Arabia has a young and tech-savvy population, which contributes to the growth of the Direct Messaging Advertising market. The majority of the population is under the age of 30 and highly active on messaging apps. This demographic is more receptive to digital advertising and is more likely to engage with direct messaging advertisements. Additionally, the high smartphone penetration rate in the country provides a strong foundation for the growth of the market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Direct Messaging Advertising market in Saudi Arabia is also influenced by macroeconomic factors. The country has a strong and stable economy, which encourages businesses to invest in advertising and marketing. Additionally, the government's Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the economy and promote digital transformation, has created a favorable environment for the growth of the digital advertising industry. As a result, companies are increasingly allocating their advertising budgets towards direct messaging advertising to capitalize on the growing market opportunity. In conclusion, the Direct Messaging Advertising market in Saudi Arabia is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for personalized and targeted advertising, the increasing use of messaging apps, the integration of AI and chatbots, the young and tech-savvy population, and favorable macroeconomic factors. As the market continues to evolve, it is expected that companies will continue to invest in direct messaging advertising to effectively reach and engage with their target audience.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on Direct Messaging Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses via e-mail, SMS, direct mail, messengers, web push, telemarketing, and instant messaging.

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, number of smartphone users, internet coverage, and number of urban households. 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 4G coverage.

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.
