Analyst Opinion

The Influencer Advertising market in Americas is witnessing significant growth and development due to changing customer preferences and the rise of social media platforms.

Customer preferences:
Customers in the Americas are increasingly turning to social media platforms for entertainment, information, and product recommendations. Influencers, who have a large following on these platforms, have become trusted sources of information and opinion for consumers. Customers are more likely to trust recommendations from influencers they follow, rather than traditional forms of advertising. This shift in customer preferences has led to a surge in influencer marketing campaigns in the Americas.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Influencer Advertising market in the Americas is the increasing use of micro-influencers. These are individuals with a smaller following but who have a highly engaged audience. Brands are recognizing the value of micro-influencers in reaching niche markets and generating authentic engagement. This trend is particularly prevalent in countries such as Brazil and Mexico, where there is a strong culture of influencer marketing. Another trend in the market is the growing use of video content. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok have become popular for influencer marketing campaigns, as they allow influencers to create engaging and shareable video content. Brands are leveraging the power of video to tell their brand stories and connect with customers on a deeper level. This trend is evident across the Americas, as video consumption continues to rise.

Local special circumstances:
In Brazil, influencer advertising is heavily regulated by the Advertising Self-Regulation Council (CONAR). Influencers are required to disclose any paid partnerships or sponsored content to ensure transparency for consumers. This regulatory environment has helped to build trust between influencers and their followers, leading to a thriving influencer advertising market. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has also implemented guidelines for influencer advertising. Influencers are required to clearly disclose any material connections they have with brands, such as receiving free products or being paid for endorsements. This transparency has become an important factor for customers when choosing to follow and engage with influencers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growing popularity of influencer advertising in the Americas can also be attributed to the region's strong economic growth and increasing disposable income. As the economies in countries like the United States, Canada, and Brazil continue to grow, consumers have more purchasing power and are willing to spend on products and services recommended by influencers. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of smartphones and access to high-speed internet has made it easier for consumers in the Americas to engage with influencers on social media platforms. This increased connectivity has created a fertile ground for influencer advertising to thrive. In conclusion, the Influencer Advertising market in Americas is experiencing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, the rise of social media platforms, and the region's strong economic growth. The use of micro-influencers and video content are key trends in the market, while local regulations in countries like Brazil and the United States ensure transparency and trust. The underlying macroeconomic factors of strong economic growth and widespread connectivity have also contributed to the development of the market.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on influencer advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising fees paid directly to influencers to post sponsored content.

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use market data from independent databases, influencer marketing platforms, and third-party reports to analyze and estimate global influencer advertising spending. We start by researching on the average cost per content post on each social media platform, the number of influencers available on advertising platforms (breakdown by tier: nano, micro, macro, and mega), and the average number of posts per year. Then we estimate the market size for each country individually. We use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, social media users, and digital consumer spending. Lastly, we benchmark key countries or regions (global, United States, China, etc.) with external sources.

Forecasts:

We use a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the market. For instance, 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.

Additional notes:

Data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change.
