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 Ecuador has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences: One of the main reasons for this growth is the strong preference for traditional TV advertising among consumers in Ecuador. Despite the rise of digital advertising platforms, many Ecuadorian consumers still rely on traditional TV for their entertainment and information needs. This preference is driven by several factors, including the widespread availability of TV channels and the relatively low cost of TV advertising compared to other forms of media. Additionally, traditional TV advertising allows companies to reach a wide audience, including those in rural areas where internet access may be limited.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Traditional TV Advertising market in Ecuador is the increasing use of targeted advertising. Advertisers are now able to use data analytics and audience segmentation techniques to deliver personalized advertisements to specific demographic groups. This allows companies to maximize the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and reach the right audience with the right message. Another trend is the integration of digital technology into traditional TV advertising. Many TV channels in Ecuador now offer interactive features, such as clickable ads and social media integration, which enhance the viewer experience and provide additional opportunities for advertisers to engage with their target audience.

Local special circumstances: Ecuador has a unique media landscape that influences the development of the Traditional TV Advertising market. The country has a diverse population with varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds, which means that advertisers need to tailor their messages to different segments of the population. Additionally, Ecuador has a large number of local TV channels, which creates opportunities for advertisers to target specific regions or communities. This localization of TV advertising allows companies to connect with consumers on a more personal level and build brand loyalty.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Traditional TV Advertising market in Ecuador is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in consumer spending power. This means that companies have more resources to invest in advertising and are more willing to allocate a larger portion of their marketing budgets to traditional TV. Additionally, the political stability and favorable business environment in Ecuador have attracted foreign investors, who are also contributing to the growth of the TV advertising market. In conclusion, the Traditional TV Advertising market in Ecuador is developing due to customer preferences for traditional TV, the use of targeted advertising and integration of digital technology, local special circumstances such as a diverse population and localization of TV channels, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and political stability.

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.
