The Print Advertising market in NAFTA is experiencing significant changes and developments. Customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors all contribute to the evolving landscape of print advertising in the NAFTA region.

Customer preferences: In the NAFTA region, customer preferences for print advertising are shifting. With the rise of digital media and online advertising, consumers are increasingly turning to digital platforms for their information and entertainment needs. This has resulted in a decline in print readership and a corresponding decrease in demand for print advertising. However, there is still a significant segment of the population that values the tangible nature of print media and finds it more trustworthy and credible than digital sources. As a result, there is still a demand for print advertising, albeit at a lower level than in the past.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the print advertising market in NAFTA is the shift towards targeted and personalized advertising. Advertisers are recognizing the importance of reaching the right audience with their messages, and are increasingly using data and analytics to segment and target their print advertising campaigns. This allows them to maximize the effectiveness of their advertising spend and ensure that their messages are reaching the right people. Another trend in the market is the integration of print and digital advertising. Advertisers are recognizing the benefits of using both print and digital media to reach their target audience. By combining print and digital advertising, advertisers can create a more cohesive and integrated marketing campaign that reaches consumers through multiple touchpoints.

Local special circumstances: Each country in the NAFTA region has its own unique set of circumstances that impact the print advertising market. In the United States, for example, the decline in print readership has been more pronounced than in Canada and Mexico. This is due to factors such as the higher penetration of digital devices and internet access in the United States, as well as the greater availability of online content. In contrast, print readership in Canada and Mexico has remained relatively stable, leading to a more resilient print advertising market in these countries.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The macroeconomic factors in the NAFTA region also play a role in the development of the print advertising market. Economic growth, consumer confidence, and business investment all impact advertising spending. When the economy is strong and businesses are thriving, they are more likely to invest in advertising, including print advertising. Conversely, during periods of economic uncertainty or recession, businesses may cut back on advertising spend, leading to a decline in the print advertising market. In conclusion, the print advertising market in NAFTA is evolving due to changing customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. While digital media has had an impact on print advertising, there is still a demand for print advertising in the NAFTA region. Advertisers are adapting to these changes by targeting their campaigns, integrating print and digital advertising, and leveraging the unique circumstances of each country in the region.

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.
