    Analyst Opinion

    The Out-of-Home Advertising market in Hong Kong has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

    Customer preferences:
    One of the main reasons for this growth is the changing preferences of customers. With the increasing popularity of digital media, people are spending more time outside their homes.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on out-of-home (OOH) advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers traditional out-of-home advertising (offline out-of-home advertisements) and digital out-of-home advertising (internet-connected out-of-home advertisements).

    Modeling approach:

    Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. 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) to analyze the markets. 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, population, urban population, and internet infrastructure.

    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.

    Out-of-home advertising worldwide – statistics & facts

    The sector may be known as out-of-home advertising, but American players are rather returning home – and staying there. Two New York City-based giants, Clear Channel Outdoor and Outfront Media, entered the second half of the 2020s limiting their operations to the domestic market. CCO started to sell its international businesses two years earlier, commenced 2025 having completed the handover of most of its operations in Latin America, and continued to pursue the sale of its Europe-North, Spain, and Brazil units. About half a year earlier, in mid-2024, Outfront announced the sale of its Canadian business to Toronto-based media conglomerate Bell Media Inc. As a result, both companies now operate exclusively within the United States. The world is watching. Focus Media, headquartered in Shanghai, reached annual revenues close to Outfront, still the fifth-largest OOH ad company by total revenue as of 2024.
