Analyst Opinion

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

Customer preferences:
Mexican consumers have shown a growing interest in digital media, with an increasing number of people accessing content through smartphones and other digital devices. This has led to a rise in demand for online streaming services, social media platforms, and digital advertising. Additionally, there is a strong preference for Spanish-language content, which has fueled the growth of the domestic media industry.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the media market in Mexico is the shift from traditional television to online streaming services. The popularity of platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video has grown significantly, as consumers seek more flexible and personalized content options. This trend is expected to continue as internet penetration rates increase and access to high-speed internet becomes more widespread. Another trend is the increasing use of social media platforms for news consumption. With the rise of fake news and the decline of traditional print media, many Mexicans are turning to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to stay informed. This has created new opportunities for digital advertising and content distribution.

Local special circumstances:
Mexico has a large and young population, which has contributed to the growth of the media market. The country has a high smartphone penetration rate, making it easier for consumers to access digital media content. Additionally, the Mexican media industry has a strong focus on producing content in Spanish, which resonates with the local audience and differentiates it from international competitors.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Mexican economy has been relatively stable in recent years, which has provided a favorable environment for the growth of the media market. Rising disposable incomes and a growing middle class have increased consumer spending on entertainment and media. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to promote digital connectivity and improve internet infrastructure, further supporting the growth of the media industry. In conclusion, the media market in Mexico is experiencing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, such as the shift towards digital media and the increasing use of social media for news consumption. Local special circumstances, such as the focus on Spanish-language content, and underlying macroeconomic factors, including a stable economy and government support, have also contributed to the market's development.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on media spending (on traditional media as well as digital media). All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on digital goods or subscriptions in the respective segment. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market segment. 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., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption. 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 and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.
