Customer preferences:
Customers in Central Asia have shown a strong preference for print media, including magazines. Despite the rise of digital platforms, many people in the region still enjoy the tactile experience of flipping through the pages of a magazine. Additionally, magazines offer a curated and focused content experience, which appeals to customers who are seeking in-depth information on specific topics.

One of the key trends in the Magazine Advertising market in Central Asia is the increasing number of niche publications catering to specific interests and demographics. These niche magazines are able to attract a highly targeted audience, which is attractive to advertisers looking to reach a specific customer segment. As a result, we are seeing a rise in advertising spend in these niche publications. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of local magazines. Customers in Central Asia are increasingly interested in content that reflects their own culture and experiences.

Methodology

Data coverage:

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

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.
