Analyst Opinion

The Digital Classifieds market in Southeast Asia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Southeast Asia are increasingly turning to digital classifieds platforms to buy and sell goods and services. The convenience and accessibility of these platforms have made them a popular choice among consumers. Additionally, the ability to browse and compare products and services from the comfort of their own homes has also contributed to the rise in popularity of digital classifieds.

Trends in the market:
One trend that has emerged in the Southeast Asian digital classifieds market is the increasing popularity of mobile apps. With the widespread adoption of smartphones in the region, more and more consumers are using mobile apps to access digital classifieds platforms. This trend has led to a shift in the way people buy and sell goods and services, with mobile apps becoming the preferred method for many. Another trend in the market is the rise of specialized digital classifieds platforms. While general classifieds platforms are still popular, there has been a growing demand for platforms that cater to specific niches. This includes platforms for buying and selling cars, real estate, and even jobs. These specialized platforms offer a more targeted and efficient way for consumers to find what they are looking for.

Local special circumstances:
One of the key factors driving the growth of the digital classifieds market in Southeast Asia is the region's large and growing middle class. As more people in the region move into the middle class, they have more disposable income to spend on goods and services. This has created a strong demand for digital classifieds platforms, as consumers look for ways to buy and sell items at affordable prices. Additionally, the high internet penetration rate in Southeast Asia has also contributed to the growth of the digital classifieds market. With more people having access to the internet, there is a larger pool of potential customers for digital classifieds platforms. This has created a favorable environment for the growth and development of the market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The digital classifieds market in Southeast Asia is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Economic growth in the region has led to an increase in consumer spending, which has in turn fueled the demand for digital classifieds platforms. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce in the region has also had a positive impact on the digital classifieds market, as more people are becoming comfortable with buying and selling goods and services online. In conclusion, the Digital Classifieds market in Southeast Asia is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for convenience and accessibility, the rise of mobile apps and specialized platforms, the region's large and growing middle class, high internet penetration rates, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and the rise of e-commerce.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on digital classifieds advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers digital classifieds advertising fees paid by advertisers to display online jobs, motor, real estate, and general classifieds.

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use market data from industry association reports, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights) 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, 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.
