Analyst Opinion

The Cinema Advertising market in Africa has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
One of the key factors driving the growth of the Cinema Advertising market in Africa is the increasing popularity of cinema as a form of entertainment. African consumers are increasingly seeking out unique and immersive experiences, and going to the cinema provides them with an opportunity to escape from their everyday lives and indulge in the magic of the big screen. As a result, cinema attendance in Africa has been steadily increasing, creating a larger audience for advertisers to target.

Trends in the market:
A major trend in the Cinema Advertising market in Africa is the increasing use of digital technology. Digital cinema screens are becoming more prevalent, offering a higher quality viewing experience and allowing for more targeted and interactive advertising. Advertisers are able to leverage the capabilities of digital screens to display dynamic and engaging content that captures the attention of cinema-goers. This trend is expected to continue as technology continues to advance and digital screens become more affordable and accessible. Another trend in the Cinema Advertising market in Africa is the rise of local content. African audiences have a strong affinity for local films and productions, and advertisers are recognizing the value of aligning their brands with popular local content. By partnering with local filmmakers and production companies, advertisers are able to reach a highly engaged and captive audience, while also supporting the growth of the local film industry.

Local special circumstances:
One of the unique aspects of the Cinema Advertising market in Africa is the diverse cultural landscape of the continent. Africa is home to a wide range of languages, traditions, and customs, and advertisers must take these cultural nuances into account when developing their campaigns. Advertisements that resonate with one African country may not have the same impact in another, making it essential for advertisers to tailor their messaging to specific local markets.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Cinema Advertising market in Africa is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Africa is experiencing rapid urbanization, with more people moving to cities and towns. This urbanization trend is driving the construction of new cinemas and the expansion of existing ones, creating more opportunities for advertisers to reach a larger audience. Additionally, Africa's growing middle class is becoming increasingly affluent and aspirational, creating a larger consumer base for advertisers to target. In conclusion, the Cinema Advertising market in Africa is developing due to changing customer preferences, such as the increasing popularity of cinema as a form of entertainment, and the use of digital technology and local content. Local special circumstances, such as the diverse cultural landscape of Africa, also play a role in shaping the market. Underlying macroeconomic factors, including rapid urbanization and a growing middle class, further contribute to the growth of the market.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on the Cinema Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising both on and off screen in cinemas, including ads shown before a movie and those displayed inside a cinema.

Modeling approach / market size:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. 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) to analyze the markets.as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) 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 various macroeconomic indicators, historical developments, current trends, reported performance indicators of key market players as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration and usage) to analyze the markets.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and 4G 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). Consumer Insights data is reweighted for representativeness.
