Definition:
Traditional TV Advertising refers to ad spending on moving image formats broadcasted via traditional transmission channels such as terrestrial and digital terrestrial (DTTV, DTT, DTTB) TV, cable TV, satellite TV, and linear TV delivered via Internet Protocol television (IPTV). Terrestrial television uses traditional antennas that transmit analog signals. Analog terrestrial TV has undergone a digital switchover (DSO) to digital terrestrial TV in most parts of the world. For digital terrestrial TV, television broadcasting stations transmit TV content through radio waves to televisions in households in a digital format. Internet Protocol television (IPTV) refers to the delivery of television content via Internet Protocol networks. IPTV is used in subscriber-based telecommunications networks via set-top boxes or other customer-premises equipment (IPTV is included in the cable revenue split here). Traditional TV Advertising covers all ad spending on pay-TV operators and networks as well as free-to-air networks and free-to-air spin-off digital channels from terrestrial network operators. Usually, the distribution of advertising time in television programs is either carried out by the broadcasters themselves or by marketing agencies.

Structure:

Cable TV signals are transmitted through coaxial or fiber-optic cables directly to each household without the need for external antennas.
Satellite TV includes television programming with the use of communication satellites that transmit to satellite dishes. A dedicated satellite receiver (external set-top boxes or built into TV sets) decodes the television program.
Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), sometimes known as direct-to-terrestrial television, is a type of television reception in which a signal is transmitted directly to a viewer's antenna rather than through a cable or satellite system. As a rule, HDTV signals are available through digital terrestrial television, and this type of television also makes better use of the radio spectrum.

Analyst Opinion

The Traditional TV Advertising market in Caribbean is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by several key factors. Customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors all contribute to the evolving landscape of traditional TV advertising in the region. Customer preferences in the Caribbean are shifting towards digital platforms, with an increasing number of consumers accessing content through online streaming services. This trend is driven by the convenience and flexibility offered by digital platforms, allowing viewers to watch their favorite shows and movies at any time and on any device. As a result, traditional TV advertising is facing competition from digital advertising channels, as advertisers seek to reach their target audience through online platforms. Trends in the market indicate a decline in traditional TV viewership in the Caribbean. This can be attributed to the rise of streaming services, which offer a wide range of content options and personalized viewing experiences. As a result, advertisers are reallocating their budgets towards digital advertising channels to reach the growing number of consumers who are moving away from traditional TV. Local special circumstances in the Caribbean also impact the traditional TV advertising market. The region consists of numerous islands with diverse cultural backgrounds and languages. This presents a challenge for advertisers who need to tailor their advertisements to different markets within the Caribbean. Advertisers must consider the cultural nuances and preferences of each island, as well as the language spoken, in order to effectively engage with the local audience. Underlying macroeconomic factors play a significant role in the development of the traditional TV advertising market in the Caribbean. Economic growth and stability in the region contribute to increased consumer spending power, which in turn drives advertising expenditure. As the economy continues to grow, advertisers are likely to invest more in traditional TV advertising to reach a wider audience and promote their products and services. In conclusion, the Traditional TV Advertising market in Caribbean is evolving due to changing customer preferences, shifting trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Advertisers need to adapt their strategies to the digital landscape and consider the cultural diversity of the region to effectively engage with the target audience.

Methodology

Data coverage:

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

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, 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, number of households with television, and 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.
