Analyst Opinion

The Social Media Advertising market in ASEAN is experiencing significant growth and development due to the increasing popularity of social media platforms in the region.

Customer preferences:
Customers in ASEAN are increasingly turning to social media platforms for various purposes, including entertainment, communication, and information sharing. This shift in consumer behavior has created a lucrative market for advertisers to reach their target audience through social media advertising. With a large and diverse population in ASEAN, advertisers have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of demographics and target specific consumer segments based on their interests, preferences, and online behavior.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Social Media Advertising market in ASEAN is the rise of influencer marketing. Influencers, who have a significant following on social media platforms, are being utilized by brands to promote their products or services. This form of advertising allows brands to leverage the trust and credibility that influencers have built with their followers, resulting in increased brand awareness and customer engagement. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of video content in social media advertising. Videos have proven to be highly engaging and effective in capturing the attention of users on social media platforms. Advertisers are leveraging this trend by creating compelling video advertisements that are tailored to the preferences and behaviors of the ASEAN audience.

Local special circumstances:
One of the unique aspects of the Social Media Advertising market in ASEAN is the diverse cultural and linguistic landscape. ASEAN consists of ten member countries, each with its own language, culture, and consumer preferences. Advertisers need to take these local nuances into consideration when creating their social media advertising campaigns. Localization and customization of content are crucial to effectively engage with the target audience in each ASEAN country.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growing middle class in ASEAN countries is a key driver of the Social Media Advertising market. As disposable incomes rise, consumers have more purchasing power, leading to increased demand for products and services. Advertisers are capitalizing on this trend by targeting the middle-class population through social media advertising. Additionally, the increasing internet penetration rate in ASEAN countries is fueling the growth of the Social Media Advertising market. With more people gaining access to the internet and social media platforms, advertisers have a larger audience to reach and engage with. This trend is expected to continue as internet infrastructure improves and becomes more accessible in the region. In conclusion, the Social Media Advertising market in ASEAN is thriving due to customer preferences for social media platforms, trends such as influencer marketing and video content, local special circumstances that require localization and customization, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as the growing middle class and increasing internet penetration rate. Advertisers in ASEAN have a unique opportunity to tap into this growing market and effectively reach their target audience through social media advertising.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on social media advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers social media advertising generated by social networks or business networks such as Facebook, Tiktok, Instragram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.

Modeling approach:

A combined top-down and bottom-up approach determines the market size. Starting with the top-down approach, we calculate global social media advertising by aggregating revenues from key players (Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram), ByteDance (Tiktok and Douyin), Twitter, Snapchat, and Microsoft (LinkedIn)). Followed by the bottom-up approach, we justify global, country, and region results using web traffic and the number of app downloads. Lastly, we distribute the results to each country individually with relevant indicators such as GDP, internet users, social media users, and digital consumer spending by country.

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.
