Analyst Opinion

The SMS Advertising market in Russia has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, driven by customer preferences for mobile communication and the increasing popularity of smartphones.

Customer preferences:
Russian consumers have shown a strong preference for mobile communication, with a significant portion of the population relying on their mobile phones for various activities, including messaging and accessing the internet. This has created a favorable environment for SMS advertising, as it allows businesses to directly reach their target audience on a device that is always within reach.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the SMS Advertising market in Russia is the shift towards personalized and targeted messaging. Businesses are increasingly using customer data and analytics to tailor their SMS campaigns to individual preferences and behaviors. This not only improves the effectiveness of the advertising but also enhances the customer experience by delivering relevant and timely messages. Another trend in the market is the integration of SMS advertising with other marketing channels. Businesses are recognizing the importance of an omni-channel approach and are using SMS as part of a larger marketing strategy that includes email marketing, social media advertising, and mobile apps. This allows for a more cohesive and consistent brand message across different touchpoints, increasing the overall impact of the advertising campaign.

Local special circumstances:
One of the unique aspects of the Russian market is the high mobile penetration rate. Russia has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in the world, with a large portion of the population using smartphones as their primary means of communication and accessing the internet. This widespread adoption of smartphones creates a fertile ground for SMS advertising, as businesses can reach a large and engaged audience through this channel. Furthermore, the Russian market is characterized by a high level of mobile internet usage. This means that consumers are not only using their mobile phones for messaging but also for browsing the internet, shopping, and accessing various services. This opens up additional opportunities for SMS advertising, as businesses can leverage the mobile internet usage to drive traffic to their websites or promote their mobile apps.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the SMS Advertising market in Russia is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as the overall economic stability and the level of disposable income. A stable economy and a growing middle class contribute to increased consumer spending and a greater willingness to engage with advertising messages. This creates a favorable environment for businesses to invest in SMS advertising and expect a positive return on investment. In conclusion, the SMS Advertising market in Russia is thriving due to customer preferences for mobile communication, the increasing popularity of smartphones, and the integration of SMS advertising with other marketing channels. The high mobile penetration rate and mobile internet usage in Russia provide businesses with a large and engaged audience, while the stable economy and growing middle class contribute to increased consumer spending and a positive market outlook.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on SMS Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers the advertising budget used for creating and sending SMS 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 coverage.

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.
