Digital ad spend in Asia jumped 64% in 2022, as overall ad investment increased by 12%*
31/03/2023
The rise was spearheaded by digital advertising, which grew by a whopping 64% from 2021, followed by outdoor at 19% and TV at 6%. As crowds returned to the movies, cinema advertising also rebounded, growing by 131%, while radio dropped 8%.
Nielsen Asia President (Commercial), Arnaud Frade said, These Ad Intel numbers for 2022 show marketers backing advertising as the best, most cost-effective way to connect brands with customers and keep them engaged. What they also demonstrate is that marketers need to be more savvy than ever about how they invest those ad dollars, utilising the very best data, in order to get an edge on their competition and maximise their ROI.
Those kind of insights are not only an advantage, but absolutely crucial in the highly competitive Asian market, says Nielsen Asia Managing Director (Advertisers), Aaron Rigby: As the advertising environment becomes more complex, brands, agencies and media owners need the latest advertising intelligence to differentiate themselves from the competition and to carve out the best path forward for their brands and media. Nothing does better than Nielsen's Ad Intel in helping you understand the advertising around you to improve your own .
Nielsen Ad Intel, which tracks competitive brand level ad activity across the entire media landscape, drilled down across selected Asian markets* to provide a local-level snapshot of ad investment, total spend, year-on-year growth, and driving factors.
At a country, rather than channel level, Singapore led the year-on-year increase with growth of 10.17%. Thailand and Malaysia followed closely with growth of 9.12% and 8.05% respectively.
*Data includes only these selected markets in Asia; Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan
