Ebiquity is pleased to share its forecast for UK’s media in the year ahead. It covers: Digital Media, TV, National Press, Out-of-Home, and Radio.
The biggest single factor on the demand side in 2019 will be Brexit, and the terms and timescale of the UK’s departure from the European Union.
In Digital, we predict three major trends:
- Changing auction dynamics and continued consolidation in adtech
- More evidence of – and action on – ad fraud
- Further fall-out from GDPR
Additionally, Amazon will continue to challenge Google and Facebook – as well as in-store retail spend – as its advertising might propels it to number three in the digital advertising market.
In TV, we believe that the elusive 16-34-year-old and housewives with kids’ demographics will become increasingly difficult to reach, driving up cost-per thousand prices. It will also start to cost more to reach older, more affluent consumers.
In National Press, ad revenue will fall in 2019 as will the cost of ad space. The circulations of paid-for papers will continue to fall, though not for freesheets.
In Out-of-Home, as established and new players drive the pace of digitisation, prices for sites will fall a little while prices for audiences will actually grow a little.
And in Radio, a medium in revival, prices will show modest increases.
