    The Print Advertising market in Nordics has been experiencing significant changes and developments in recent years. Customer preferences in the Nordics have shifted towards digital media, resulting in a decline in the demand for print advertising. Consumers in this region are increasingly relying on online platforms for information, entertainment, and communication. The convenience and accessibility of digital media have made it a preferred choice for advertisers to reach their target audience. Additionally, the younger generation in the Nordics, who are more tech-savvy, are more likely to engage with digital content rather than print. Trends in the market indicate that print advertising in the Nordics is facing challenges due to the rise of digital advertising.

This shift in advertising spending has led to a decline in revenue for print media companies in the region. Local special circumstances in the Nordics also contribute to the decline of print advertising.

This has facilitated the growth of digital media consumption and has made it easier for advertisers to reach their target audience through online platforms.

Underlying macroeconomic factors in the Nordics have also influenced the development of the print advertising market.

In conclusion, the Print Advertising market in the Nordics is experiencing a decline due to changing customer preferences, the rise of digital advertising, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

    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.
