The TV & Video Advertising market in France is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences: Customers in France are increasingly turning to TV and video advertising as a way to engage with brands and products. With the rise of digital platforms and streaming services, consumers have more options than ever before for accessing content. This has led to a shift in customer preferences towards on-demand and personalized content, which in turn has created new opportunities for advertisers to reach their target audiences through TV and video advertising.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the TV & Video Advertising market in France is the increasing adoption of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows advertisers to target specific audiences based on their demographics, interests, and online behavior. This targeted approach has proven to be highly effective in reaching consumers and driving engagement. As a result, more and more advertisers are investing in programmatic advertising to optimize their campaigns and maximize their return on investment. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of connected TV advertising. Connected TVs are becoming increasingly common in households across France, providing viewers with access to a wide range of streaming services and online content. Advertisers are recognizing the potential of connected TV advertising to reach a captive audience and are leveraging this platform to deliver targeted and interactive ads. This trend is expected to continue as the adoption of connected TVs continues to rise.

Local special circumstances: France has a strong tradition of creativity and innovation in the advertising industry. French advertisers are known for their ability to create compelling and engaging advertisements that resonate with consumers. This creative approach to advertising has helped to drive the growth of the TV & Video Advertising market in France, as advertisers continue to push the boundaries and experiment with new formats and techniques.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the TV & Video Advertising market in France can also be attributed to favorable macroeconomic factors. The French economy has been steadily recovering from the global financial crisis, with increasing consumer confidence and spending. This has created a favorable environment for advertisers, as consumers are more willing to engage with brands and make purchasing decisions. Additionally, the French government has implemented policies to support the growth of the digital economy, which has further fueled the development of the TV & Video Advertising market.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on TV and video advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers traditional TV advertising (non-digital formats such as terrestrial TV, cable TV, satellite TV, and linear TV) and digital video advertising (video ad formats: web-based, app-based, on social media, and connected devices).

Modeling approach:

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, web traffic, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights Global Survey) 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 GDP, population, media consumption, internet users, consumer spending, and digital consumer spending.

Forecasts:

We use a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the market. For instance, the S-curve function is well suited to forecast digital products due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption, whereas exponential trend smoothing (ETS) is more suited for projecting steady growth in traditional advertising markets.

Additional notes:

Data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change.
