    Analyst Opinion

    The TV & Video Advertising market in Pakistan is experiencing significant growth and development.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Pakistan are increasingly turning to TV and video advertising as a means of entertainment and information. With the rise of digital platforms and the increasing availability of high-speed internet, more people have access to online content, including TV shows, movies, and videos. This has led to a shift in customer preferences towards consuming content through digital channels, which in turn has increased the demand for TV and video advertising.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the TV & Video Advertising market in Pakistan is the increasing popularity of online streaming platforms. These platforms offer a wide range of content, including TV shows, movies, and videos, which are often ad-supported. As more people in Pakistan subscribe to these platforms, advertisers are recognizing the opportunity to reach a large and engaged audience through TV and video advertising. Another trend in the market is the growing use of social media for video advertising. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have become popular channels for sharing and consuming video content. Advertisers are leveraging the reach and targeting capabilities of these platforms to deliver their messages to a highly engaged audience. This trend is expected to continue as social media usage in Pakistan continues to grow.

    Local special circumstances:
    Pakistan has a large and growing population, which presents a significant market opportunity for advertisers. The country also has a young demographic, with a large percentage of the population under the age of 30. This demographic is highly tech-savvy and spends a significant amount of time consuming digital content, including TV shows, movies, and videos. Advertisers are targeting this demographic through TV and video advertising to capture their attention and drive brand awareness.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growing TV & Video Advertising market in Pakistan is also supported by favorable macroeconomic factors. The country's economy has been growing steadily in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has resulted in higher demand for products and services, and advertisers are capitalizing on this by increasing their investment in TV and video advertising to reach a larger audience. In conclusion, the TV & Video Advertising market in Pakistan is developing rapidly due to changing customer preferences, including the increasing popularity of online streaming platforms and the use of social media for video advertising.

    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.
