Analyst Opinion

Egypt, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, is experiencing a significant growth in its advertising market. With a population of over 100 million people, Egypt offers a vast consumer base for advertisers to target.

Customer preferences:
In recent years, there has been a shift in customer preferences towards digital advertising. With the increasing penetration of smartphones and internet access, consumers are spending more time online, creating new opportunities for advertisers to reach their target audience. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have become popular channels for advertising, allowing brands to engage with their customers in a more personalized and interactive way. Additionally, there is a growing demand for video content, with platforms like YouTube and TikTok gaining popularity among Egyptian consumers.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Egyptian advertising market is the rise of influencer marketing. Influencers, particularly on social media platforms, have gained a significant following and influence over consumer purchasing decisions. Brands are leveraging this trend by partnering with influencers to promote their products or services, tapping into their loyal fan base and credibility. This trend is particularly prevalent among younger demographics who are more receptive to influencer recommendations. Another trend in the market is the growing importance of data-driven advertising. Advertisers are increasingly relying on data analytics to better understand consumer behavior and target their advertising efforts more effectively. By analyzing data on consumer demographics, preferences, and online behavior, advertisers can create more targeted and personalized campaigns, resulting in higher engagement and conversion rates.

Local special circumstances:
Egypt has a young and tech-savvy population, with a large percentage of its population under the age of 30. This demographic is highly active on social media and spends a significant amount of time online. Advertisers are capitalizing on this by investing in digital advertising and social media marketing to reach this key demographic. Furthermore, Egypt has a rapidly growing e-commerce market. With the convenience of online shopping and the increasing number of online retailers, consumers are shifting towards making purchases online. This presents an opportunity for advertisers to target consumers during their online shopping journey, whether through display ads, search engine marketing, or sponsored content.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Egypt's economy has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, which has contributed to the development of the advertising market. The government has implemented economic reforms and infrastructure projects to attract foreign investment and stimulate economic growth. This has led to an increase in consumer spending power and a growing middle class, creating a favorable environment for advertisers. In conclusion, the advertising market in Egypt is evolving to meet the changing preferences of consumers. The rise of digital advertising, influencer marketing, and data-driven campaigns are reshaping the industry. With a young and tech-savvy population, a growing e-commerce market, and a favorable macroeconomic environment, Egypt presents a promising landscape for advertisers to connect with their target audience and drive business growth.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses for traditional and digital advertisements.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale for each market market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights). Next, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, internet users, consumer spending, and digital consumer spending. 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 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 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).
