Analyst Opinion

The In-App Advertising market in Ghana has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Ghanaian consumers are increasingly relying on smartphones and mobile apps for various activities, including social media, entertainment, and shopping. This has created a favorable environment for in-app advertising, as marketers are able to reach a large and engaged audience through these platforms. Additionally, the rise of mobile gaming in Ghana has also contributed to the growth of in-app advertising, as game developers are increasingly monetizing their apps through ads.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the In-App Advertising market in Ghana is the shift towards programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows marketers to automate the buying and selling of ad inventory, making the process more efficient and cost-effective. This trend is driven by the increasing availability of data and technology that enable precise targeting and real-time optimization of ads. As a result, advertisers in Ghana are able to reach their target audience more effectively and measure the impact of their campaigns. Another trend in the market is the growing adoption of native advertising. Native ads are designed to match the look and feel of the app or website they appear on, making them less intrusive and more engaging for users. This form of advertising is particularly effective in mobile apps, as it seamlessly integrates with the user experience. As a result, advertisers in Ghana are increasingly using native ads to capture the attention of users and drive higher engagement rates.

Local special circumstances:
One of the unique characteristics of the In-App Advertising market in Ghana is the high mobile penetration rate. Ghana has one of the highest mobile penetration rates in Africa, with a large percentage of the population owning smartphones. This provides advertisers with a vast audience to target and engage with through in-app advertising. Additionally, the relatively low cost of mobile data in Ghana has also contributed to the growth of in-app advertising, as users are able to access apps and consume content without significant financial barriers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the In-App Advertising market in Ghana is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Ghana has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has created a favorable environment for advertisers, as consumers have more purchasing power and are more likely to engage with ads. Additionally, the government of Ghana has been actively promoting the growth of the digital economy, which includes the development of the In-App Advertising market. This support from the government has attracted investment in the sector and has helped to drive its growth. In conclusion, the In-App Advertising market in Ghana is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing reliance on smartphones and mobile apps, the shift towards programmatic and native advertising, the high mobile penetration rate, and the favorable macroeconomic factors. This market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years as more advertisers recognize the potential of in-app advertising to reach and engage with the Ghanaian audience.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on in-app advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers ad spending on advertisements displayed within a mobile application.

Modeling approach:

The market size is determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use market data from independent databases, the number of application downloads from data partners, survey results taken from our primary research (e.g., the Consumer Insights Global Survey), and third-party reports to analyze and estimate global in-app advertising spending. To analyze the markets, we start by researching digital advertising in mobile applications for each advertising format, incidents of in-app and mobile browser usage, as well as the time spent in mobile apps by categories. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, mobile users, and digital consumer spending. Lastly, we benchmark key countries and/or regions (e.g., global, the United States, China) with external sources.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year.
