The country’s unique blend of traditional values and cutting-edge technology drives consumer preferences towards innovative advertising methods. Japan's dense urban environments, such as Tokyo, create high competition for attention, resulting in a shift towards engaging formats like interactive displays.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on traditional out-of-home advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers offline out-of-home advertisements such as billboards, street furniture, transit and transport displays, and place-based media.

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Global Survey) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, population, urban population, and internet infrastructure.

Forecasts:

We use a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the market. For instance, the S-curve function is well suited to forecast digital products due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption, whereas exponential trend smoothing (ETS) is more suited for projecting steady growth in traditional advertising markets.

Additional notes:

Data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change.
