    Analyst Opinion

    The Newspaper Advertising market in Hong Kong has been experiencing significant changes and developments in recent years.

    Customer preferences:
    In today's digital age, customer preferences have shifted towards online platforms for news consumption. With the rise of smartphones and social media, people are increasingly relying on digital news sources for their daily updates. This has led to a decline in the demand for print newspapers and subsequently, a decrease in newspaper advertising.

    Trends in the market:
    As a result of the changing customer preferences, the Newspaper Advertising market in Hong Kong has been facing challenges. Advertisers are now allocating more of their budgets towards digital advertising channels such as social media, search engines, and online news websites.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

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

    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.

    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.
