Advertising segment investment forecast from Dentsu Aegis Network
The advertising market has been actively developing for several years now. This is evidenced not only by an increase in content and new companies, but also by statistics. Media Holding Dentsu Aegis Network presented its forecast for the segment for 2020-2021. According to the company, advertising investments are expected to grow by 3.9% in the world, while investments in the Russian market will increase by 5.7%.
The specialists conducted a comprehensive study for which 59 countries were analysed. In their opinion, the cost of advertising this year will be 615 billion dollars. The most popular areas will be sports events: the Olympic Games, which will be held in summer in Tokyo, UEFA Champions League. The driver of the segment will also be politics. It is expected that the U.S. presidential election will increase the inflow of investments by about $10 billion.
However, according to Dentsu Aegis Network, the advertising market will not develop equally in all regions. For example, in the UK and in some Asian countries the growth dynamics will decrease. This year, advertising spending in Germany will also be reduced by about 1.5%. In Italy, the decline is projected at 0.1%, in Spain – by 1.3%.
