PQ Media's Global Digital & Alternative Media Forecast 2014-18
PQ Media's Global Digital & Alternative Media Forecast 2014-18

Stamford, CT (PRWEB) September 18, 2014 -- Digital & alternative (D&A) media revenues increased 11.9% to $252.12 billion in 2013, pushing the global media economy over $1 trillion for the first time, says PQ Media. Key growth drivers continue to power momentum forward in 2014, including red-hot mobile social media, mobile gaming, online video, online videogames, digital place-based networks, and word-of-mouth marketing.

'D&A media revenues appeared to be supercharged by a mobile juggernaut. It's strong perceptual impact on growth and fear causes us to need centering across mobile channels,' said Patrick Quinn, President, PQ Media.

D&A media operators now command nearly 25% of the world’s advertising & marketing investments, but PQ analysts estimate D&A media in 3Q14 was pacing for 13.7% FY14 growth, marking the strongest performance by D&A operators in several years, says the Global Digital & Alternative Media Revenue Forecast 2014-18.

Defying strong headwinds at times, D&A media’s share of total advertising & marketing revenues accounted for 24.2% globally in 2013, nearly double its share in less than 10 years. Meanwhile, traditional media revenues inched up a mere 0.8% to $754.87 billion. The growth rates for D&A media, as well as traditional advertising & marketing, indicate decelerated expansion in 2013, due to economic worries that key emerging markets have faced in recent years.

Out of 40 D&A media channels defined in our taxonomy, online search remains the largest at $48.51 billion in operator revenues in 2013, while mobile search was the only channel to post a triple-digit gain for the year. Despite the sharp growth deceleration in 2013, global D&A media revenues increased at a CAGR of 12.7% during the 2008-13 period, outpacing traditional media growth and global economic expansion. While total D&A advertising revenues – including internet/online; digital & ambient outdoor media, mobile, and other digital ad channels – grew faster in the period (16.1% CAGR), the D&A marketing sector – comprising internet, consumer events, product placement, mobile, and word-of-mouth channels – is much larger with overall revenues of $136.37 billion in 2012, according to PQ Media.

“Overall D&A media revenues were supercharged by the mobile juggernaut across various advertising and marketing channels," said Patrick Quinn, CEO, PQ Media. “Online marketing revenues, including search, grew at the slowest rate since they were first measured. A number of major brands are shifting budgets to mobile search, as tablet penetration rises sharply while PC households decline."

Global D&A ad revs jumped 14.7% to $102.63 billion in 2013, fueled by online & mobile video, social media and videogames. D&A marketing, meanwhile, increased 10% to $149.52 billion, driven by strong gains in mobile marketing, product placement, and word-of-mouth. Largest D&A platform in 2013 was online advertising at $73.38 billion worldwide, while mobile marketing was the fastest-growing, surging 70.4%.

The US became the first global market to exceed $100 billion in D&A media revenue, reaching $103 billion in 2013, nearly five times the size of second-ranked Japan. India was the fastest growing D&A market in 2013, up 21.3%, and one of 10 nations to post double-digit gains during the year, including the US, which expanded 12.6%. The UK had the highest D&A media share of its total media revenues at 30.6% in 2013, followed by Japan, Canada and Australia, and the US placing 7th seventh with a 26.5% share.

Global D&A media revenues were on pace in the first half of 2014 for a 13.7% increase for the full year to $286.70 billion, fueled with a biennial boost of incremental dollars mainly from the Winter Olympics in Russia and the World Cup in Brazil. Other key drivers include strong estimated growth of D&A media verticals, such as mobile advertising and digital signage. PQ analysts indicate that growth could be more robust, but for the mixed economic signals and inconsistent readings on key PEST components, including slow recoveries in large developed markets, such as the US and UK; economic headwinds in China and Brazil; and political tensions impacting Russia.

With austerity measures and stimulus packages driving estimated growth acceleration in many sluggish economies going forward, as well as the anticipation of deeper broadband, smartphone and tablet penetration, D&A media revenues are projected to rise at a 14.2% CAGR over the next five years to $489.76 billion in 2018. Influential developed and high-octane emerging markets stuttered in 2013, due to myriad challenges posed by debt issues, asset bubbles, political tensions and slower economic growth. Admedia also faced tough comps with 2012, due to the even-year bounce from major sporting and political events.

For comparison, traditional advertising & marketing will rise at 3.2% CAGR, leading overall brand marketing to grow at a 6.4% CAGR. As a result, D&A media will account for over one-third of global advertising & marketing revenues in 2018, with several markets meeting or exceeding 40% shares.
