Analyst Opinion

The Influencer Advertising market in Southern Asia is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences:
In recent years, there has been a shift in customer preferences towards more personalized and authentic advertising. Traditional forms of advertising are becoming less effective as consumers are becoming more skeptical of traditional marketing tactics. Influencer Advertising provides a solution to this problem by leveraging the trust and credibility that influencers have built with their followers. Customers are more likely to trust and engage with a product or service that is recommended by someone they admire and trust.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Influencer Advertising market in Southern Asia is the rise of micro-influencers. Micro-influencers are individuals who have a smaller but highly engaged following on social media. They are seen as more relatable and authentic compared to macro-influencers who have a larger following. Brands are increasingly partnering with micro-influencers to reach niche audiences and drive higher engagement rates. This trend is particularly prominent in countries like India and Indonesia where there is a large number of social media users. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of video content. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok have gained immense popularity in Southern Asia, and influencers on these platforms are able to reach millions of viewers. Video content is highly engaging and allows influencers to showcase products and services in a more dynamic and interactive way. Brands are recognizing the power of video content and are investing in influencer partnerships to create compelling video campaigns.

Local special circumstances:
Southern Asia is a region with a diverse culture and languages. Each country in the region has its own unique set of influencers who have a strong influence over their respective audiences. Brands need to understand the local culture and preferences in order to effectively leverage influencer partnerships. Localization is key to success in the Southern Asian market, and brands need to work with influencers who have a deep understanding of the local market and can communicate in the local language.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growing middle class and increasing internet penetration in Southern Asia are driving the growth of the Influencer Advertising market. As more people gain access to the internet and social media platforms, the potential reach and impact of influencer marketing increases. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce in the region has created new opportunities for brands to reach customers through influencer partnerships. The convenience and accessibility of online shopping have made it easier for influencers to promote products and drive sales. In conclusion, the Influencer Advertising market in Southern Asia is thriving due to changing customer preferences, the rise of micro-influencers, the increasing use of video content, the need for localization, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as the growing middle class and increasing internet penetration. Brands that understand and adapt to these trends and circumstances are well-positioned to succeed in this rapidly evolving 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.
