According to Trends data from
ZenithOptimedia, global ad expenditure is slowing down, but still growing. In
2012 adspend was up by 3.5 per cent, reaching US$481,004m. Forecast for 2013 is
a growth to almost US$500bn (+3.5 per cent) and 2014 to 2015 are expected to see
even larger growth, at 5.1 per cent and 5.9 per cent.
Other key trends include:
– Online
revolution: as an advertising medium the internet is still the fastest growing
medium. It grew from 16.3 per cent over the course of 2012 (US$88,579m), and
forecasts show an average of 15 per cent annual growth for 2013 to 2015.
– Africa/Middle
East circulation revenue grows faster than advertising and plays a bigger role
in total revenue.
– The PwC Global Entertainment Media Outlook
2013-2017 data predicts a double or triple digit digital growth figures within
five years in Asia Pacific. Circulation revenue will grow from US$154m
in 2012 to US$1,269m – a growth of over 800 per cent.
– Big challenges in
North America: in the coming years the total revenue is expected to decline by
6 per cent. Despite these forecasts the magazine market is moderately positive. Many
initiatives on digital interfaces must change the downturn and compensate the
inevitable losses of print revenue.
– In Central
and South America, the PwC Global
Entertainment Media Outlook 2013-2017 estimates a total revenue increase by 22 per cent
in 2015. While both advertising and circulation revenue is growing, the ratio
between the two is shifting.
– Media
mix is shifting from printing towards internet In Europe. Internet is the
second medium with 21 per cent share, followed by newspapers and magazines. The growth
in B2B circulation revenue is particularly spectacular: forecasts show an
increase from $US74m in to $US931m in 2017.
