The popularity of radio in Australia provides a strong foundation for the growth of audio advertising, as brands can leverage the established audience base and engage with consumers through targeted and creative audio campaigns.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Australian economy has been relatively stable in recent years, with steady GDP growth and low unemployment rates. This economic stability provides a conducive environment for businesses to invest in advertising and marketing activities, including audio advertising. Furthermore, the high smartphone penetration rate in Australia, combined with the increasing availability of high-speed internet connectivity, has fueled the growth of audio streaming platforms, creating more opportunities for audio advertising. In conclusion, the Audio Advertising market in Australia is experiencing significant growth and development driven by customer preferences for audio content, the rise of podcasts, and the popularity of radio broadcasting.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on audio advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers traditional radio advertising (broadcasting programs on terrestrial radio stations or networks) and digital audio advertising (pre- and in-stream audio ads and podcast streaming ads).

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, web traffic, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights 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, internet users, consumer spending, and digital consumer spending.

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.
