Definition:

The eCommerce Media market is a sector of online retailing that focuses on selling media-related products through digital channels. The purpose of eCommerce Media is to provide consumers with a convenient and accessible way to purchase a wide range of products, including books, music, movies, and video games.

The relevance of the eCommerce Media market lies in its ability to offer consumers a vast selection of media products at competitive prices, with the added convenience of home delivery. It also enables brands and retailers to personalize recommendations and promotions based on customer preferences and purchase history, increasing customer engagement and loyalty.

The eCommerce Media market has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by factors such as the increasing availability of digital content and streaming services, the popularity of audiobooks and podcasts, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to more time spent at home and increased demand for entertainment and educational content.

Examples of successful eCommerce Media businesses include Amazon Books, which offers a wide range of physical and digital books across different genres and formats, and Spotify, which provides a platform for streaming music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Additionally, video game companies like Steam and GOG.com have disrupted the traditional retail model by offering digital downloads and cloud-based gaming services.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale 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., Statista Global Consumer Survey), data on shopping behavior (e.g., Google Trends, Alibaba Trends), and performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price/product). Furthermore, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations such as GDP, consumer spending, internet penetration, and population. 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 particular 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. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, internet penetration, and population.

Additional Notes:

The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is considered at a country-specific level. The impact of the Russia/Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.
