Analyst Opinion

The Print Advertising market in Southern Asia is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences: Customers in Southern Asia still have a strong preference for print advertising. Despite the rise of digital platforms, many individuals in this region still rely on print media for their daily consumption of news and information. Print advertising offers a tangible and trustworthy experience for customers, which is highly valued in this region.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Print Advertising market in Southern Asia is the increasing focus on targeted advertising. Advertisers are recognizing the importance of reaching the right audience with their print campaigns. This has led to the development of more sophisticated targeting techniques, such as demographic and geographic segmentation. By tailoring their messages to specific groups of consumers, advertisers are able to maximize the impact of their print advertisements. Another trend in the market is the integration of digital elements into print advertising. Advertisers are leveraging technologies such as QR codes and augmented reality to enhance the print experience for customers. This integration allows for a more interactive and engaging advertising experience, bridging the gap between print and digital media.

Local special circumstances: The cultural and linguistic diversity of Southern Asia presents a unique challenge for advertisers in this region. Advertisements need to be tailored to the specific cultural norms and preferences of each country. Additionally, the presence of multiple languages requires advertisers to carefully consider their messaging and ensure it is effectively communicated to the target audience.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The rapid economic growth in Southern Asia has contributed to the development of the Print Advertising market. As disposable incomes rise, consumers have more purchasing power, leading to increased demand for products and services. This creates opportunities for advertisers to promote their offerings through print media. Furthermore, the relatively low internet penetration in some countries of Southern Asia has also contributed to the growth of the Print Advertising market. With limited access to digital platforms, print media remains a primary source of information and entertainment for many individuals in this region. In conclusion, the Print Advertising market in Southern Asia is thriving due to customer preferences for print media, the adoption of targeted advertising techniques, the integration of digital elements, the need for culturally-relevant advertisements, and the underlying macroeconomic factors of rapid economic growth and limited internet penetration.

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.
