Analyst Opinion

The TV & Video Advertising market in Ethiopia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances. Customer preferences in Ethiopia have shifted towards digital media consumption, with an increasing number of people accessing TV and video content through online platforms. This trend can be attributed to the growing availability of high-speed internet and the widespread adoption of smartphones. As a result, advertisers are increasingly focusing their efforts on digital advertising channels to reach their target audience. In addition to the rise of digital media consumption, there are several other trends shaping the TV & Video Advertising market in Ethiopia. One notable trend is the growing popularity of video streaming services. With the introduction of affordable streaming platforms, more people are opting to watch TV shows and movies online rather than through traditional television channels. This shift in viewing habits has led advertisers to allocate a larger portion of their advertising budgets towards digital video platforms. Another trend in the market is the increasing demand for localized content. Ethiopian consumers have shown a preference for content that is relevant to their culture and language. As a result, advertisers are investing in producing localized advertisements that resonate with the local audience.

Local special circumstances also play a role in the development of the TV & Video Advertising market in Ethiopia. The country has a large population, with a significant percentage of the population being young and tech-savvy. This demographic profile presents a lucrative market for advertisers, as young people are more likely to engage with digital advertising and are early adopters of new technologies.

As a result, advertisers have a larger pool of potential customers who can afford their products and services. Additionally, the government has been investing in infrastructure development, including the expansion of internet connectivity. This investment has facilitated the growth of digital media consumption and created opportunities for advertisers to reach a wider audience. In conclusion, the TV & Video Advertising market in Ethiopia is developing rapidly due to changing customer preferences, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The shift towards digital media consumption, the popularity of video streaming services, and the demand for localized content are driving advertisers to invest in digital advertising channels.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on TV and video advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers traditional TV advertising (non-digital formats such as terrestrial TV, cable TV, satellite TV, and linear TV) and digital video advertising (video ad formats: web-based, app-based, on social media, and connected devices).

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, web traffic, 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, media consumption, internet users, consumer spending, and digital consumer spending.

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.
