    Analyst Opinion

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

    Customer preferences:
    In line with global trends, customer preferences in New Zealand have shifted towards digital advertising channels, leading to a decline in print advertising. The rise of digital platforms and the increasing use of smartphones and tablets have made it easier for consumers to access information online. As a result, advertisers have recognized the need to adapt their strategies and allocate more of their budgets to digital advertising, which offers greater targeting capabilities and real-time tracking of campaign performance.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the New Zealand print advertising market is the decline in newspaper circulation. With the rise of online news platforms, consumers are increasingly turning to digital sources for their news consumption. This shift has led to a decrease in print newspaper readership, resulting in a decline in print advertising revenue for newspapers. Advertisers are now exploring alternative channels to reach their target audience, such as social media, online display ads, and influencer marketing. Another trend in the market is the growth of magazine advertising. While the overall print advertising market has been declining, magazines have managed to maintain a steady readership and attract niche audiences. Advertisers are leveraging the unique content and loyal readership of magazines to target specific demographics and promote their products or services. This trend reflects the importance of targeted advertising in reaching specific customer segments.

    Local special circumstances:
    New Zealand's relatively small population and geographic isolation present unique challenges and opportunities for the print advertising market. The limited number of newspapers and magazines in the country means that advertisers have a smaller range of options compared to larger markets. However, this also allows for more targeted advertising and the ability to reach specific regional or niche audiences.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The New Zealand economy has been growing steadily in recent years, which has had a positive impact on the advertising industry as a whole. As businesses thrive and consumer confidence remains high, advertisers are more willing to invest in advertising campaigns to promote their products or services. However, the uncertain economic outlook due to global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic has led to cautious spending in the advertising sector. In conclusion, the Print Advertising market in New Zealand is undergoing significant changes driven by shifting customer preferences towards digital channels. Advertisers are adapting their strategies to reach consumers through online platforms, leading to a decline in print advertising. However, magazines have managed to maintain a steady readership and attract niche audiences, offering opportunities for targeted advertising. The unique characteristics of the New Zealand market, such as its small population and geographic isolation, present both challenges and opportunities for advertisers. The overall macroeconomic factors, including the country's steady economic growth, influence the level of advertising investment in the market.

    Methodology

    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.
