    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on SMS Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers the advertising budget used for creating and sending SMS 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 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.

    Advertising worldwide – statistics & facts

    All advertising markets across the globe win, yet some win more than others. Ad spending worldwide reached almost 733 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, up less than three percent from the previous year. For comparison, in 2022, Switzerland ranked 20th among the leading economies by gross domestic product (GDP) with a result exceeding 800 billion dollars. Whereas global ad revenues concentrate in areas with either large populations or high purchase power – preferably both – their evolution depends on a larger set of indicators. It was forecast that, in 2024, South Asia will be the world's fastest-growing ad market, and the only out of nine with a double-digit increase rate: 12.1 percent. The second-placed region, comprising the United States and Canada, was projected to see its ad expenditure rise 7.6 percent.
