Analyst Opinion

The Advertising market in North Macedonia is experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Customers in North Macedonia are increasingly turning to digital advertising platforms, as internet penetration and smartphone usage continue to rise. This shift in customer preferences is driven by the convenience and accessibility of digital advertising, which allows businesses to reach a wider audience and target specific demographics more effectively. Furthermore, customers are also demanding more personalized and interactive advertising experiences, which can be achieved through digital channels.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the advertising market in North Macedonia is the increasing adoption of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows businesses to automate the buying and selling of ad inventory, making the process more efficient and cost-effective. This trend is driven by the growing availability of data and analytics, which enable businesses to target their advertisements more accurately and measure their impact in real-time. Another trend in the market is the rise of influencer marketing. Influencer marketing involves partnering with social media influencers to promote products or services to their followers. This form of advertising has gained popularity in North Macedonia as it allows businesses to leverage the trust and influence of popular social media personalities to reach their target audience. This trend is particularly effective in reaching younger demographics who are more likely to trust recommendations from influencers.

Local special circumstances:
North Macedonia has a relatively small advertising market compared to other countries in the region. This presents both challenges and opportunities for businesses operating in the market. On one hand, the smaller market size means that there is less competition for advertising space, allowing businesses to reach their target audience more effectively. On the other hand, the smaller market size also means that businesses need to be more creative and innovative in their advertising strategies to stand out from the competition. Additionally, the political and economic stability of North Macedonia has also contributed to the growth of the advertising market. The country has made significant progress in recent years in terms of political stability and economic reforms, which has attracted foreign investment and boosted consumer confidence. This favorable business environment has created opportunities for businesses to invest in advertising and marketing activities to promote their products and services.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The advertising market in North Macedonia is also influenced by broader macroeconomic factors. The country's GDP growth, consumer spending, and business investment all play a role in shaping the advertising landscape. As the economy grows and consumer spending increases, businesses are more likely to invest in advertising to capture a larger share of the market. Similarly, increased business investment can lead to higher advertising budgets as companies seek to promote their products and services to a wider audience. Furthermore, government policies and regulations also impact the advertising market in North Macedonia. The government's commitment to promoting a favorable business environment and attracting foreign investment has created opportunities for businesses to invest in advertising. Additionally, regulations related to consumer protection and advertising standards also shape the advertising landscape by ensuring that businesses adhere to ethical practices and provide accurate information to consumers. Overall, the advertising market in North Macedonia is experiencing growth and development driven by changing customer preferences, technological advancements, and favorable macroeconomic factors. Businesses in the market need to adapt to these trends and leverage digital advertising platforms to effectively reach their target audience. Additionally, businesses should also consider partnering with influencers and adopting programmatic advertising strategies to stay competitive in the market.

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).
