Analyst Opinion

The SMS Advertising market in Belgium is experiencing significant growth and development. Customer preferences are shifting towards mobile advertising as a more effective and efficient way to reach their target audience. This trend is driven by several factors, including the increasing use of smartphones and the growing popularity of text messaging.

Customer preferences:
Belgian consumers are increasingly relying on their smartphones for various activities, including communication, information retrieval, and entertainment. As a result, they are more likely to engage with SMS advertisements compared to other forms of advertising. Text messages are considered less intrusive and more convenient, as they can be easily accessed and read at any time.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the SMS Advertising market in Belgium is the use of personalized and targeted messages. Advertisers are leveraging customer data to create customized SMS campaigns that are tailored to individual preferences and interests. This approach increases the effectiveness of the advertisements and improves customer engagement. Another trend is the integration of SMS advertising with other marketing channels. Companies are combining SMS campaigns with social media, email marketing, and mobile apps to create a cohesive and integrated marketing strategy. This multi-channel approach allows advertisers to reach a wider audience and maximize the impact of their campaigns.

Local special circumstances:
Belgium has a high mobile penetration rate, with a large percentage of the population owning a smartphone. This widespread use of mobile devices creates a favorable environment for SMS advertising. Additionally, the country has a strong culture of text messaging, with many people preferring to communicate via SMS rather than phone calls or emails.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growing SMS Advertising market in Belgium can also be attributed to the country's stable economy and high disposable income. As consumers have more purchasing power, businesses are investing more in advertising to capture their attention and drive sales. The relatively high GDP per capita in Belgium provides a strong foundation for the growth of the SMS Advertising market. In conclusion, the SMS Advertising market in Belgium is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences for mobile advertising, the use of personalized and targeted messages, the integration of SMS advertising with other marketing channels, and the country's high mobile penetration rate and stable economy. These factors are driving the expansion of the market and creating opportunities for businesses to effectively reach and engage with their target audience.

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.
