Highlights:

ZenithOptimedia forecasts world ad spend growth of 6.6% in 2008, up slightly from the 6.5% growth predicted in its March forecast.

Growth forecasts for 2008 have been downgraded from 3.7% to 3.5% for North America, and from 3.9% to 3.7% for Western Europe, but forecasts for the rest of the world are up from 11.1% to 11.8%

Internet ad growth continues to run ahead of expectations with Western advertisers shifting even more of their budgets online:

  • Zenith now expects internet advertising to grow 26.7% and break through the 10% share barrier this year, a year earlier than predicted just three months ago.
  • By 2010, it is expected to attract 13.6% of all advertising, well ahead of Zenith’s previous prediction of 12.3%.

Newspapers, magazines, television and radio are all losing share to the Internet, with newspapers suffering the most:

  • Newspapers’ share of the global ad market fell by 7.6 percentage points in the 10 years to 2007, and Zenith expects it to fall another 3.5 points by 2010.
  • It expects 4% growth in nominal newspaper ad expenditure between 2007 and 2010, but this equates to a 6% drop after adjusting for expected inflation.

Outdoor is the only other medium to be gaining market share (6.2% in 2007 to 6.7% in 2010). As well as investing in traditional displays, contractors are installing interactive digital billboards, making outdoor more attractive to advertisers.
