Branded podcasts often feature interviews with industry experts, discussions about relevant topics, and storytelling that relates to the brand. This trend is likely to continue as more companies realize the benefits of podcast advertising. Another trend in the market is the emergence of podcast networks and production companies. These entities play a crucial role in the growth of the Podcast Advertising market in France by producing high-quality podcasts and connecting advertisers with relevant content creators. Podcast networks provide a platform for advertisers to reach their target audience effectively. They also help content creators monetize their podcasts through advertising partnerships.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on podcast advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers podcast streaming ads.

    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, web traffic, 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, internet users, consumer spending, and digital 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.
