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

Traditional TV Advertising in Slovakia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences: Slovakian consumers still have a strong preference for traditional TV advertising, as it remains a trusted and familiar medium. TV continues to be the primary source of news and entertainment for many households, and advertisers recognize the value of reaching a large and captive audience through this channel. Additionally, the ability to target specific demographics through TV advertising allows for more effective and personalized messaging.

Trends in the market: One notable trend in the Slovakian TV advertising market is the increasing adoption of programmatic advertising. This technology allows advertisers to automate the buying and selling of TV ad inventory, enabling more efficient and targeted campaigns. Programmatic advertising also provides advertisers with real-time data and insights, allowing for better optimization and measurement of ad performance. Another trend in the market is the integration of digital elements into traditional TV advertising. Advertisers are leveraging interactive features, such as QR codes and social media integration, to enhance viewer engagement and drive online interactions. This integration of digital elements not only increases the effectiveness of TV advertising but also provides advertisers with valuable data on viewer behavior and preferences.

Local special circumstances: Slovakia's relatively small population and limited number of TV channels create a highly competitive advertising market. Advertisers must carefully consider their target audience and the most effective channels to reach them. Additionally, the Slovakian government has implemented regulations to ensure fair competition and protect consumers from misleading or deceptive advertising practices.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growing economy in Slovakia has contributed to the development of the TV advertising market. As disposable incomes rise, consumers have more purchasing power, making them attractive targets for advertisers. Furthermore, increased competition among businesses has led to a greater focus on advertising to differentiate themselves and capture market share. In conclusion, the Traditional TV Advertising market in Slovakia is developing in response to changing customer preferences, the adoption of new technologies, and the integration of digital elements. Advertisers are recognizing the value of TV advertising in reaching a large and captive audience, and are leveraging programmatic advertising and digital integration to enhance their campaigns. The competitive advertising market in Slovakia, coupled with a growing economy, further supports the development of the TV advertising market in the country.

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.
