Analyst Opinion

The Media market in Ethiopia is experiencing significant growth and development in recent years. Customer preferences are shifting towards digital media platforms, and there is an increasing demand for local content. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to promote media freedom and encourage private sector investment in the industry. These factors, combined with the country's growing economy and expanding middle class, have contributed to the positive trends in the Media market in Ethiopia. Customer preferences in Ethiopia are evolving, with a growing preference for digital media platforms. As internet penetration rates increase and access to smartphones becomes more widespread, consumers are turning to online platforms for their media consumption. This shift is driven by factors such as convenience, affordability, and the availability of a wider range of content. Streaming services and social media platforms are gaining popularity, as they offer on-demand access to a variety of entertainment options. Another customer preference in Ethiopia is the demand for local content. Ethiopian consumers have a strong affinity for their culture and language, and they are increasingly seeking media content that reflects their identity. This has led to a rise in the production and consumption of local music, movies, and television shows. Local content creators are capitalizing on this demand by producing high-quality content that resonates with Ethiopian audiences. The Media market in Ethiopia is also influenced by local special circumstances. The government has implemented policies to promote media freedom and encourage private sector investment in the industry.

The increased competition in the market has led to improved quality and diversity of media content. Additionally, Ethiopia's growing economy and expanding middle class have contributed to the development of the Media market. As disposable incomes rise, consumers have more spending power to allocate towards media consumption. This has created a lucrative market for media companies, who are investing in infrastructure and content production to cater to the growing demand. Underlying macroeconomic factors also play a role in the development of the Media market in Ethiopia. The country's GDP growth rate has been consistently high in recent years, which has created a favorable business environment for media companies.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on media spending (on traditional media as well as digital media). All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on digital goods or subscriptions in the respective segment. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, 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.
