The Print Advertising market in Canada has been experiencing significant changes and developments in recent years.

Customer preferences: Customers in Canada have shown a shift in their preferences when it comes to print advertising. With the rise of digital media and the increasing use of smartphones and tablets, consumers are spending more time online and less time reading traditional print publications. This change in consumer behavior has led to a decline in the demand for print advertising in Canada.

Trends in the market: One of the major trends in the print advertising market in Canada is the shift towards digital advertising. Advertisers are increasingly investing in digital platforms such as social media, search engines, and websites to reach their target audience. This trend is driven by the ability of digital advertising to provide more targeted and measurable results compared to traditional print advertising. Additionally, digital advertising offers the advantage of being more cost-effective and flexible, allowing advertisers to reach a larger audience at a lower cost. Another trend in the market is the rise of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising uses automated technology to buy and sell ad inventory, allowing advertisers to target specific demographics and interests. This trend has gained popularity in Canada as it enables advertisers to reach their target audience more efficiently and effectively.

Local special circumstances: Canada's vast geography and diverse population present unique challenges and opportunities for the print advertising market. With a population spread across a large landmass, advertisers need to consider regional preferences and cultural differences when planning their print advertising campaigns. Additionally, Canada has two official languages, English and French, which further complicates the advertising landscape. Advertisers need to ensure that their messages are effectively translated and localized to resonate with the target audience.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Canadian economy has been growing steadily in recent years, which has had a positive impact on the print advertising market. A strong economy typically leads to increased consumer spending and business investments, which in turn drives demand for advertising. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Canadian economy, causing a decline in consumer spending and business activities. This has resulted in a decrease in advertising budgets and a shift towards more cost-effective advertising channels such as digital media. In conclusion, the Print Advertising market in Canada is experiencing a shift in customer preferences towards digital advertising. Advertisers are investing more in digital platforms to reach their target audience more effectively and efficiently. The rise of programmatic advertising and the challenges posed by Canada's diverse population and geography are also influencing the market. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Canadian economy has led to a decrease in advertising budgets and a greater focus on cost-effective advertising channels.

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on print advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising in physical print editions (newspapers and magazines).

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use industry association reports, 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 education index.

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.
