Analyst Opinion

The Social Media Advertising market in Ghana has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Ghanaians are increasingly embracing social media platforms as a means of communication, entertainment, and information sharing. This has led to a growing demand for social media advertising, as businesses recognize the potential of reaching a large and engaged audience through these platforms. Additionally, the rise of influencer marketing has also contributed to the growth of social media advertising in Ghana, as consumers are more likely to trust recommendations from individuals they follow on social media.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Social Media Advertising market in Ghana is the shift towards mobile advertising. With the majority of Ghanaians accessing social media platforms through their smartphones, advertisers are focusing on creating mobile-friendly content and optimizing their campaigns for mobile devices. This trend is driven by the increasing affordability and accessibility of smartphones, as well as the availability of affordable mobile data plans. Another trend in the market is the growing use of video content in social media advertising. Ghanaians have shown a preference for video content, as it is more engaging and visually appealing. Advertisers are leveraging this trend by creating compelling video ads that capture the attention of users and deliver their message effectively. This trend is also supported by the improvement in internet speeds and the availability of high-quality video streaming on social media platforms.

Local special circumstances:
The Social Media Advertising market in Ghana is influenced by several local special circumstances. Firstly, the high mobile penetration rate in the country has made social media platforms easily accessible to a large portion of the population. This has created a fertile ground for advertisers to reach a wide audience and maximize the impact of their campaigns. Additionally, the young and tech-savvy population in Ghana is driving the growth of the social media advertising market. With a significant portion of the population below the age of 30, advertisers are targeting this demographic through social media platforms to effectively reach their desired audience.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Social Media Advertising market in Ghana is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The country's stable economic growth and increasing disposable income levels have contributed to the rise in consumer spending. This has created opportunities for businesses to invest in advertising and reach a larger customer base through social media platforms. Furthermore, the government's efforts to improve internet connectivity and digital infrastructure have played a crucial role in the development of the social media advertising market. Investments in expanding broadband coverage and reducing the cost of internet services have made it easier for Ghanaians to access social media platforms and engage with online content. In conclusion, the Social Media Advertising market in Ghana is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for social media platforms, the rise of mobile advertising and video content, local special circumstances such as high mobile penetration and a young population, as well as underlying macroeconomic factors including stable economic growth and improved internet connectivity.

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.
