Analyst Opinion

The In-App Advertising market in Southern Europe is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences:
The increasing use of smartphones and mobile applications has led to a rise in the demand for in-app advertising. Users in Southern Europe are spending more time on their mobile devices, and advertisers are recognizing the potential of reaching their target audience through in-app ads. Additionally, consumers in this region are becoming more comfortable with mobile advertising and are more likely to engage with ads that are relevant and non-intrusive.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the In-App Advertising market in Southern Europe is the shift towards programmatic advertising. Advertisers are increasingly using automated platforms to purchase and manage their in-app ad inventory. This allows for more efficient targeting and optimization of campaigns, resulting in higher engagement and conversion rates. Programmatic advertising also provides better transparency and control for advertisers, as they can track the performance of their ads in real-time. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of rewarded ads. This type of in-app advertising offers users a reward, such as in-app currency or extra content, in exchange for engaging with an ad. Rewarded ads are seen as less intrusive and more engaging, leading to higher user satisfaction and increased brand awareness. Advertisers in Southern Europe are leveraging this trend to reach their target audience in a more interactive and meaningful way.

Local special circumstances:
Southern Europe is known for its vibrant tourism industry, with countries such as Spain, Italy, and Greece attracting millions of visitors each year. This presents a unique opportunity for advertisers to target tourists through in-app advertising. Travel-related apps, such as booking platforms and city guides, can effectively reach tourists and provide them with relevant information and offers. Advertisers in Southern Europe are capitalizing on this special circumstance to promote their products and services to a captive audience.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The In-App Advertising market in Southern Europe is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The region has experienced economic growth in recent years, leading to increased consumer spending and a larger advertising budget for businesses. This has resulted in higher demand for in-app advertising as companies look for effective ways to reach their target audience. Additionally, the increasing penetration of smartphones and mobile internet access has created a larger user base for in-app advertising, further driving market growth. In conclusion, the In-App Advertising market in Southern Europe is growing rapidly due to customer preferences for mobile advertising, trends such as programmatic advertising and rewarded ads, local special circumstances in the tourism industry, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Advertisers in this region are recognizing the potential of in-app advertising to effectively reach their target audience and are leveraging these market dynamics to drive their business growth.

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.
