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 Namibia is experiencing steady growth and development due to several factors.

Customer preferences: Namibian customers still have a strong preference for traditional TV advertising. Despite the rise of digital platforms and streaming services, traditional TV remains a popular choice for entertainment and information. Many Namibians enjoy the convenience of watching their favorite shows and commercials on television, and advertisers recognize the value of reaching a wide audience through this medium.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Traditional TV Advertising market in Namibia is the increasing focus on targeted advertising. Advertisers are becoming more sophisticated in their approach, using data and analytics to identify specific audience segments and tailor their messages accordingly. This allows them to maximize the impact of their advertising campaigns and ensure that they are reaching the right people at the right time. Another trend in the market is the integration of digital elements into traditional TV advertising. Advertisers are leveraging the power of technology to enhance the viewer experience and engage with their audience in new and innovative ways. For example, interactive advertisements that allow viewers to engage with the content or make purchases directly from their television screens are becoming more common.

Local special circumstances: Namibia's relatively small population and limited media landscape contribute to the strength of traditional TV advertising in the country. With fewer media options available, television remains a dominant source of entertainment and information for many Namibians. This creates a captive audience for advertisers and ensures that their messages are seen by a large portion of the population.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Namibia's stable economy and growing middle class are also driving the development of the Traditional TV Advertising market. As disposable incomes rise, more Namibians are able to afford televisions and pay for cable or satellite subscriptions. This increases the potential audience for advertisers and provides them with a larger market to target. In conclusion, the Traditional TV Advertising market in Namibia is thriving due to customer preferences for traditional TV, the adoption of targeted advertising and integration of digital elements, the limited media landscape, and the country's stable economy and growing middle class. These factors contribute to the continued growth and development of the market, making it an attractive platform for advertisers to reach a wide 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.
