Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have gained popularity among Gabonese users, leading to an increase in digital advertising revenue. Advertisers are leveraging the large user base of these platforms to reach their target audience effectively. Another trend in the Media market is the emergence of local content production. Gabonese filmmakers, musicians, and content creators are producing high-quality content that resonates with the local audience.

This has led to the development of specialized media channels focusing on topics such as sports, fashion, and lifestyle, which have gained a loyal following among Gabonese consumers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:

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.
