Global Digital Out of Home Media Forecast 2011-2015

According to a new global forecast, digital out-of-home media (DOOH) remains among the fastest growing media in the world. The U.S. remained the largest global market, while China was the fastest growing. Technology and innovation continue to drive transformational change in global DOOH media, consumer media behavior and the marketing ecosystem, with strong prospects for sustained double digit growth for digital place-based networks, billboards & signage over the 2011-2015 forecast period. With continued global scale and increased adoption of integrated digital marketing strategies, this current research strongly suggests DOOH has the potential to create an unrivaled mass audience communications channel supporting the economic engines of both developed and emerging markets.

One reason the publisher likes the long term growth prospects for DOOH is because of its potential to reach, engage and influence an increasingly demanding, elusive and wireless connected mass consumer audience in 4 major global regions comprising 59% of the world's 6.8 billion population generating 74% of the world's $74.4 trillion in purchasing power? We're seeing just the tip of iceberg in DOOH spending long term.DOOH is one of the world's fastest growing media. While the rate of digital OOH growth has gone through a "gold rush" and the publisher predicted "shakeout" phase for two consecutive years, the report anticipates U.S. digital OOH spending will grow 15.1% to $2.07 billion in 2010, with worldwide spending up 16.3% to $6.47 billion, and is expected to expand another 16.7% in 2011.The Global Digital Out-of-Home Media Forecast 2010-2015 is the most comprehensive and respected source of strategic intelligence used by leading digital OOH operators, financial companies, brands and agencies, due to its breadth and depth of data and predictive analytics.

Global Digital Signage revenues will double by 2016

Digital out-of-home will be one of the fastest-growing media around the world over the next five years, according to Magna Global's latest ad forecast, with a compounded annual growth rate of 15.2% from 2011-2016. That puts it behind just two other media -- the super-hot categories of online video, poised to grow at an average rate of 19.6% per year over the same period, and mobile, which will grow at an average rate of 19.4% per year.
 
Thus DO is expected to grow at a rate roughly three times the rate for the media business overall, which Magna sees growing at between 5%-5.5% from 2011-2016. DO will help drive the strong growth rate for the broader out-of-home advertising category in general, which Magna expects to grow 7.9% in 2011. From 2011-2016, total DO advertising revenues will double from $2.6 billion to $5.2 billion, while total out-of-home advertising revenues will increase 46.8% from $26.3 billion in 2011 to $38.6 billion.
 
Focusing on specific regions, Magna sees out-of-home revenues growing fastest in Asian countries including South Korea, India, China, and the Philippines -- but DO is just part of this upsurge. The same forecast expects conventional, static billboard, transit, and other kinds of traditional out-of-home to grow at an annual rate of 6.8% during this period. The increase in conventional billboard revenues is attributed to the proliferation of new advertising surfaces on the sides of buildings, as well as more sophisticated management of ad inventory on public transit systems.
 
Cinema advertising will be another strong growth area over the next couple years, according to Magna, which forecasts an 8.8% growth rate in 2011 followed by annual growth rates ranging from 8%-10% through 2016. In dollar terms, that means total (global) cinema ad revenues will grow from $2.6 billion in 2010 to $4.4 billion in 2016.
