The following report consolidates data for Ukrainian market from the MAI POOL survey and presents the estimates for two key media – TV and Digital.
TV
The market situation is influenced by the growth of TV viewership from March to May and by the decline in advertisers’ media activity in response to crisis trends and expectations. These resulted in the drop of the Sold out.
Sellers rewarded those advertisers, who kept their presence on air or even reinforced it, with 10-25% bonus support. The sellers’ tactics significantly decreased the planned annual media inflation. Today we estimate it in the range of 4-14%, based on the actual data of eight months of 2020 and forecasts until the end of the year. The consolidated media inflation, weighted versus media budgets of the MAI POOL participants, constitutes 9%.
Digital
The inflation plans were affected by seasonal traffic fluctuations, decreases of currency exchange rate (USD(EUR) / UAH) and by the pressure, which global sellers of advertising resources put upon local ones.
• 5-7% deflation in digital video on YouTube, FB/Instagram faces
• 8-10% inflation in the Display in the global instruments (GDN, DoubleClick)
• 1-3% deflation in Social (PPC campaigns)
• Local sellers maintain prices for all types of advertising display on the level of 2019.
The actual evaluation of the media inflation 2020 will be established and presented in February 2021.
In October 2020, we will release our forecasts for the media inflation levels in 2021.
