Analyst Opinion

The Retail Platform Advertising Market in Pakistan is witnessing subdued growth, influenced by factors such as limited digital infrastructure, low consumer engagement online, and ongoing economic challenges that hinder advertising investments and innovation.

Customer preferences:
In Pakistan, consumers are increasingly gravitating towards localized online shopping experiences that cater to their cultural preferences and regional needs, prompting retailers to enhance their digital presence. There is a growing demand for personalized advertising that resonates with local traditions and values, particularly among younger demographics. Additionally, the rise of social media influencers is shaping consumer decisions, as shoppers seek authenticity and relatability in promotional content, driving brands to invest strategically in retail platform advertising.

Trends in the market:
In Pakistan, the Retail Platform Advertising Market is experiencing a surge in hyper-localized advertising strategies, as brands seek to connect with consumers on a more personal level. The rise of mobile commerce is driving retailers to optimize their advertising efforts across digital platforms, particularly social media channels that resonate with younger audiences. Additionally, the emergence of video content marketing is becoming pivotal, as consumers are increasingly drawn to engaging visual narratives. This shift not only enhances brand visibility but also fosters deeper consumer loyalty, urging industry stakeholders to adapt their strategies for sustained growth.

Local special circumstances:
In Pakistan, the Retail Platform Advertising Market is significantly influenced by the country's diverse cultural landscape and regional preferences. The multitude of languages and customs across provinces necessitates tailored advertising strategies that resonate with local audiences. Moreover, the rise of e-commerce, driven by younger consumers seeking convenience, is prompting brands to leverage localized content on social media. Regulatory considerations, such as digital advertising guidelines, also shape how businesses approach their marketing efforts, fostering innovation while ensuring compliance.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Retail Platform Advertising Market in Pakistan is shaped by macroeconomic factors including economic growth, consumer spending patterns, and technological advancements. The country's GDP growth, driven by a young population and urbanization, encourages greater disposable income and a shift towards online shopping. Consequently, brands are investing more in digital advertising to capture this growing market. Additionally, inflation rates and fiscal policies impact consumer behavior, influencing advertising budgets and strategies. As global e-commerce trends accelerate, local brands are compelled to adapt their advertising approaches, integrating innovative digital solutions to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on Retail platform ad spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses for digital advertisements.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights). Next, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, internet users, and digital consumer spending. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. For example, 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 some cases, the data is updated on an ad-hoc basis (e.g., when new relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
