Analyst Opinion

The Media market in Ivory Coast has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances. Customer preferences in the Ivory Coast media market have shifted towards digital platforms, with an increasing number of people accessing content through smartphones and other mobile devices.

This trend can be attributed to the growing availability of affordable smartphones and improved internet connectivity in the country.

In addition to the shift towards digital platforms, there is a growing demand for local content in the Ivory Coast media market.

Customers are increasingly seeking content that reflects their own culture and experiences, which has led to the emergence of local production companies and the creation of more locally-focused television shows, movies, and music. This trend is driven by a desire for cultural representation and a sense of national identity. Another trend in the Ivory Coast media market is the rise of social media influencers and online content creators.

These individuals have gained a significant following on platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, and have become influential in shaping consumer preferences and trends. This has created new opportunities for brands to engage with their target audience through influencer marketing and sponsored content. Local special circumstances in the Ivory Coast media market include a relatively young population and a growing middle class.

The youth population is highly connected and tech-savvy, which has contributed to the rapid adoption of digital media platforms. The growing middle class has also increased disposable income, leading to increased spending on entertainment and media consumption.

The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has resulted in increased consumer spending power. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to promote the development of the media industry, including the establishment of regulatory frameworks and the provision of incentives for local content production.

The shift towards digital platforms, the demand for local content, the rise of social media influencers, and the young population and growing middle class are all contributing to the development of the media market in Ivory Coast.

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.
