Analyst Opinion

The Advertising market in Malta has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences:
In Malta, customers have shown a growing preference for digital advertising channels, such as online display ads, social media advertising, and search engine marketing. This shift in preference can be attributed to the increasing internet penetration rate and the widespread use of smartphones among the Maltese population. Customers are also seeking personalized and targeted advertising messages that resonate with their interests and needs.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the advertising market in Malta is the rise of influencer marketing. Influencers, who have a significant following on social media platforms, are being utilized by brands to promote their products or services to a highly engaged audience. This trend is driven by the growing influence of social media in people's lives and the desire for authentic and relatable content. Another trend in the market is the integration of technology and data analytics in advertising campaigns. Advertisers are leveraging advanced analytics tools to gain insights into consumer behavior and preferences, allowing them to create more targeted and effective advertising campaigns. This trend is fueled by the availability of big data and the increasing adoption of digital advertising platforms.

Local special circumstances:
Malta's small size and close-knit community present unique opportunities and challenges for the advertising market. On one hand, the small market size allows for more targeted and localized advertising campaigns, which can be highly effective in reaching the Maltese audience. On the other hand, the limited number of advertising agencies and media outlets in Malta can lead to a lack of competition and innovation in the market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The strong economic growth in Malta has contributed to the development of the advertising market. As the economy expands, businesses are allocating more resources towards advertising and marketing activities to capture a larger share of the market. Additionally, the tourism industry plays a significant role in driving advertising expenditure in Malta, as businesses in the hospitality sector compete to attract tourists. In conclusion, the Advertising market in Malta is witnessing growth due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The shift towards digital advertising channels, the rise of influencer marketing, the integration of technology and data analytics, and the small size of the market are all shaping the advertising landscape in Malta. The strong economic growth and the importance of the tourism industry further contribute to the development of the advertising market in the country.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses for traditional and digital advertisements.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale for each market market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights Global Survey). Next, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, internet users, consumer spending, and digital consumer spending. 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 particular 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.

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 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).
