    One of the key trends in the advertising market in Turkey is the shift towards programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows for real-time bidding and automated ad placements, which improves efficiency and targeting. This trend is driven by the increasing availability of data and advanced analytics tools, enabling advertisers to reach their target audience more effectively. Another trend is the growing popularity of influencer marketing, as Turkish consumers are increasingly influenced by social media personalities and online influencers.

This provides a fertile ground for digital advertising, as more people are spending time online and engaging with digital content. Additionally, Turkey has a vibrant and dynamic startup ecosystem, which has led to the emergence of innovative advertising technologies and platforms. This has created opportunities for both local and international advertisers to reach Turkish consumers in new and creative ways.

A growing middle class and rising disposable incomes have led to increased consumer spending, driving demand for advertising across various sectors. Furthermore, the Turkish government has implemented policies to promote entrepreneurship and innovation, which has stimulated business activity and investment in the advertising industry. In conclusion, the advertising market in Turkey is witnessing significant growth and development, driven by customer preferences for digital advertising, trends such as programmatic advertising and influencer marketing, local special circumstances including a large and young population and a vibrant startup ecosystem, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as strong economic growth and government support for entrepreneurship.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses for traditional and 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 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 Global Survey). Next, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, internet users, consumer spending, 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).

    Advertising worldwide – statistics & facts

    All advertising markets across the globe win, yet some win more than others. Ad spending worldwide reached almost 733 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, up less than three percent from the previous year. For comparison, in 2022, Switzerland ranked 20th among the leading economies by gross domestic product (GDP) with a result exceeding 800 billion dollars. Whereas global ad revenues concentrate in areas with either large populations or high purchase power – preferably both – their evolution depends on a larger set of indicators. It was forecast that, in 2024, South Asia will be the world's fastest-growing ad market, and the only out of nine with a double-digit increase rate: 12.1 percent. The second-placed region, comprising the United States and Canada, was projected to see its ad expenditure rise 7.6 percent.
