Analyst Opinion

The Media market in Spain has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Spanish consumers have shown a strong preference for digital media, with a growing number of people accessing news, entertainment, and other media content through online platforms. This shift in preference can be attributed to the increasing availability of high-speed internet connections and the widespread use of smartphones and other mobile devices. Additionally, Spanish consumers are increasingly interested in personalized and on-demand content, leading to the rise of streaming services and digital subscriptions.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the media market in Spain is the growth of streaming services. Platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO have gained popularity among Spanish consumers, who are attracted to the convenience and flexibility of streaming content. This trend has led to a decline in traditional television viewership and an increase in cord-cutting, as more people opt for streaming services over traditional cable or satellite TV. Another trend in the media market is the rise of influencer marketing. Social media influencers have become powerful marketing tools, with brands leveraging their large and engaged audiences to promote their products or services. This trend has led to a shift in advertising budgets, with a greater emphasis on digital and social media advertising.

Local special circumstances:
Spain has a vibrant and diverse media landscape, with a wide range of newspapers, television channels, and radio stations catering to different interests and demographics. This diversity has contributed to the growth of the media market, as consumers have more options to choose from. Additionally, Spain has a strong tradition of journalism and a high level of media literacy, which has fostered a demand for high-quality and independent news sources.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the media market in Spain is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Spain has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, with a growing middle class and increasing disposable incomes. This has led to higher consumer spending on media and entertainment, as people have more discretionary income to allocate towards these sectors. Furthermore, the Spanish government has implemented policies to support the media industry, such as tax incentives for film and television production, which have contributed to the growth of the market. In conclusion, the media market in Spain is developing in response to changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The shift towards digital media, the rise of streaming services, the influence of social media influencers, the diverse media landscape, and the favorable macroeconomic conditions are all contributing to the growth and evolution of the media market in Spain.

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.
