    Analyst Opinion

    The AR Advertising market in Italy is experiencing significant growth and development.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Italy are increasingly drawn to immersive and interactive advertising experiences. They are looking for innovative and engaging ways to connect with brands and products. Augmented reality (AR) advertising offers a unique opportunity to create personalized and interactive campaigns that capture the attention of consumers. With AR, customers can experience products and services in a virtual environment, allowing them to make more informed purchasing decisions.

This has opened up new possibilities for advertisers to reach their target audience. Brands are leveraging AR to create interactive advertisements that can be accessed through mobile apps, social media platforms, and websites. This trend is expected to continue as technology advances and AR becomes more accessible to a wider audience. Another trend in the market is the use of AR in the retail sector.

The use of AR in tourism is expected to continue to grow as more visitors seek unique and immersive experiences.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on AR advertising revenue, which includes pop-up advertising displayed in social media apps, gaming apps, and eCommerce apps as well as advertising that is integrated into the virtual world.

    Modeling approach / market size:

    The market size is determined through a top-down approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, as well as third-party studies and reports 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 consumer spending, internet penetration, 4G coverage, and historical developments.

    Forecasts:

    We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are level of digitalization, adoption of technology, GDP per capita, and internet penetration.

    Additional notes:

    The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
