According to TechInsight360, Digital Advertising Spend in the country are expected to grow by 8.2% on an annual basis to reach US$1,173.3 million in 2023.

Medium to long term growth story of Digital Advertising Spend in United Arab Emirates remains strong. Digital Advertising Spend adoption is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 8.1% during 2023-2027. The Digital Advertising Spend Value in the country will increase from US$1,084.3 million in 2022 to reach US$1,601.4 million by 2027.

The online ad spending industry is poised to record accelerated growth over the next five years in the United Arab Emirates. Factors such as the tech-savvy population, and increased internet and smartphone penetration rate in the region will keep driving more brands to increase their marketing spending on online channels, such as Social Media platforms and on-demand streaming services.

Over the last few years, Facebook and Instagram have been attracting the majority of the marketing dollars in the United Arab Emirates. However, the emergence of new digital entertainment channels such as streaming services, is expected to lead to a downfall in ad revenue for Meta over the next three to four years. Overall, TechInsight360 maintains a robust growth outlook for the online ad spending industry in the United Arab Emirates.

Consumption of on-demand streaming content growing at a rapid rate among viewers in the Emirates

The popularity of on-demand video streaming services has been growing consistently in the United Arab Emirates. Ever since the pandemic outbreak, the number of viewers consuming content on streaming platforms has increased significantly.
• According to a report from Trade Desk and YouGov, 65% of the residents are streaming content daily on on-demand platforms in the Emirates. In fact, the residents are spending more time on streaming platforms than any other Social Media platform in the country. This demonstrates that advertisers can use streaming platforms to reach their targeted audience more effectively in the Emirates.

Going forward, 36% of the respondents said that they plan to spend more time on their cell phone devices. Consequently, smartphone devices are expected to gain more prominence among brands to reach their audiences from the short to medium-term perspective. This will drive more marketing dollars online compared to traditional advertising, thus aiding the growth of the market over the next three to four years.

Digital marketplaces launching online marketing campaigns to aid digital ad business in the Emirates

To promote their product and services and to reach the targeted audience more effectively, more and more businesses are increasing their online marketing dollars in the Emirati nation. For instance,
• In February 2023, Kinguin, one of the leading digital marketplaces globally, announced a major marketing campaign in collaboration with Dubai-based Medialinks. As part of the collaboration, the two firms have launched a marketing campaign for promoting the upcoming game Hogwarts Legacy. The marketing campaign launched by Kinguin and Medialinks includes Social Media advertising, influencer marketing, and other special contests.

From the short to medium-term perspective, TechInsight360 expects more global and regional businesses to turn to digital channels to promote their products and services, amid the growing internet and smartphone penetration rate in the Emirati nation. This will keep aiding the growth of the online ad spending industry over the next three to four years.

The growing prominence of TikTok will drive market share away from Facebook and Google in the Emirates

TikTok continues to make big strides in the Social Media market by attracting millions of new users. The popularity of the Social Media platform has surged significantly in the Emirates. The trend is projected to further continue in the Emirati nation, as more and more Gen Z residents increase their usage of the Social Media platform.

The growing popularity among Social Media users means that more brands are expected to launch marketing and advertising campaigns on the platform, driving their dollars away from Facebook and Google. Over the next three to four years, TechInsight360 expects the platform to lead the growth of the online ad spending industry in the United Arab Emirates.

As TikTok continues to rise up the rank in the Social Media segment, the competitive landscape in the ad business segment is also projected to grow significantly, leading to new ad product launches by Social Media platforms. In May 2023, TikTok announced the launch of an ad product that will give its premium content creators 50% of the total ad payout. This will make the platform more lucrative for creators, thereby driving more growth for TikTok from the short to medium-term perspective.
