Analyst Opinion

The Instant Messaging Advertising market in Philippines has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the increasing popularity of messaging apps.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Philippines are increasingly relying on messaging apps for communication and social interaction. These apps offer a convenient and efficient way to connect with friends, family, and colleagues, and have become an integral part of people's daily lives. As a result, advertisers are recognizing the potential of reaching a large and engaged audience through these platforms.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Philippines is the rise of native advertising within messaging apps. Native ads seamlessly blend into the user interface of the app, making them less intrusive and more likely to be noticed and engaged with by users. This type of advertising is particularly effective in messaging apps, as users spend a significant amount of time within these apps and are more likely to pay attention to content that is integrated into their conversations. Another trend in the market is the use of personalized and targeted advertising. Messaging apps collect a wealth of data on user behavior and preferences, which can be leveraged to deliver highly relevant and personalized ads. Advertisers can target specific demographics, interests, and behaviors, ensuring that their messages reach the right audience at the right time. This level of targeting not only increases the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, but also enhances the user experience by delivering ads that are more relevant and useful.

Local special circumstances:
The Instant Messaging Advertising market in Philippines is also influenced by local cultural and social factors. Filipinos are known for their strong social connections and close-knit communities, and messaging apps play a central role in facilitating these connections. This makes messaging apps an ideal platform for advertisers to engage with the Filipino audience and tap into the power of word-of-mouth marketing. Ads that are shared and recommended by friends and family are more likely to be trusted and acted upon by users.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Philippines is also supported by favorable macroeconomic conditions. The country has a large and growing population, with a significant portion of the population accessing the internet through their smartphones. This provides a vast potential audience for advertisers to reach. Additionally, the Philippines has a rapidly expanding middle class with increasing purchasing power, creating opportunities for advertisers to promote their products and services. In conclusion, the Instant Messaging Advertising market in Philippines is experiencing growth due to changing customer preferences, the rise of native and personalized advertising, local social dynamics, and favorable macroeconomic conditions. Advertisers are recognizing the potential of messaging apps as a powerful platform to engage with the Filipino audience and deliver targeted and relevant advertising messages.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on Instant Messaging Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers the advertising budget used for distributing instant messaging advertisements.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market. 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., the Statista Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, usage). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet coverage. 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 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. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and internet users.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development). Data from Consumer Insightsis reweighted for representativeness.
