Analyst Opinion

The Digital Video Advertising market in Africa is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Africa are increasingly turning to digital video advertising as a means to reach their target audience. With the rise of internet penetration and smartphone usage in the region, consumers are spending more time online and consuming video content on various platforms. This shift in consumer behavior has created a demand for digital video advertising, as businesses recognize the need to reach their target audience through these channels.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the African digital video advertising market is the increasing popularity of mobile video advertising. With the majority of the population accessing the internet through their smartphones, advertisers are focusing on creating mobile-friendly video ads that can be easily viewed on smaller screens. This trend is driven by the convenience and accessibility of mobile devices, as well as the affordability of data plans in certain countries. Another trend in the market is the growth of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows advertisers to automate the buying and selling of digital ad inventory, making it more efficient and cost-effective. This trend is gaining traction in Africa as advertisers seek to optimize their ad spend and target specific audience segments.

Local special circumstances:
Africa is a diverse continent with unique challenges and opportunities for digital video advertising. One of the key challenges is the lack of reliable internet infrastructure in certain regions. This can hinder the delivery of video ads and limit the reach of campaigns. However, with the ongoing investments in internet infrastructure across the continent, this challenge is gradually being addressed. Another special circumstance in Africa is the linguistic and cultural diversity of the population. Advertisers need to tailor their video ads to different languages and cultural preferences to effectively engage with their target audience. This requires a deep understanding of the local market and the ability to create content that resonates with consumers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Several macroeconomic factors are driving the growth of the digital video advertising market in Africa. One of the key factors is the increasing disposable income and middle-class population in certain countries. As more people enter the middle class, their purchasing power and consumption patterns change, creating opportunities for advertisers to target this growing segment. Another factor is the rapid urbanization in Africa. As more people move to cities, there is a greater concentration of consumers in urban areas, making it easier for advertisers to reach their target audience. This trend is further supported by the growing number of shopping malls and retail outlets in cities, creating opportunities for advertisers to promote their products and services through digital video advertising. In conclusion, the Digital Video Advertising market in Africa is experiencing significant growth and development due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As more businesses recognize the importance of digital video advertising in reaching their target audience, the market is expected to continue to expand in the coming years.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on digital video advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers video ad formats (web-based, app-based, social media, and connected devices).

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use market data from industry reports and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights) to analyze the markets. Then we benchmark key countries or regions (United States, China, Europe, Asia, and Africa) results with country-specific advertising organizations or associations. 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.
