Southeast Asia Advertising - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026 - 2031)

Market Report I 2026-02-09 I 110 Pages I Mordor Intelligence

Southeast Asia Advertising Market Analysis

The South East Asia Advertising market was valued at USD 28.34 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 32.46 billion in 2026 to reach USD 63.89 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 14.52% during the forecast period (2026-2031). Revenue growth rides on rapid mobile-first digital adoption, AI-enabled campaign optimization, and government grants that help small businesses advertise online. While traditional channels still concentrate spending, the shift toward automated, data-rich formats is unmistakable, especially as monthly mobile data usage per smartphone is set to climb from 13 GB in 2023 to 59 GB by 2030. Super-app ecosystems, expanding retail media networks, and stronger measurement standards for Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) are widening the channel mix and enhancing return on ad spend for brands across the region.

Southeast Asia Advertising Market Trends and Insights



Rising Mobile Broadband Penetration

Mobile connectivity is redefining ad reach across the Southeast Asia Advertising market. GSMA projects that monthly data usage will surge more than fourfold by 2030, opening space for high-bit-rate video and immersive formats that were previously bandwidth-constrained. With Indonesia's fixed broadband penetration below 20%, mobile is the default digital gateway, prompting advertisers to adopt location-based targeting and video-first creative. Faster speeds also enrich the data available to programmatic platforms, turning real-time engagement metrics into the primary mechanism for buying and optimizing inventory.

Accelerated Uptake of Programmatic DOOH

Digital billboards now stream dynamic ads shaped by live weather or traffic feeds. A July 2024 deal between Moving Walls and GroupM gave Malaysian buyers verified DOOH inventory, mitigating historical viewability doubts. In dense Singapore and Bangkok, algorithmic scheduling lets brands rotate creative by daypart, congested routes, or in-market behaviors pulled from mobile devices. Standard-setting bodies such as the Open Measurement in Out-of-Home Group released open-source impression frameworks, bringing the accountability that advertisers expect from online channels.

High Fragmentation of Publisher Inventory

Malaysia counts more than 300 billboard owners, forcing buyers to stitch together campaigns piecemeal. CtrlShift's AMP marketplace now aggregates inventory from seven major publishers, but scale remains limited. Smaller digital publishers across Indonesia and the Philippines compound the problem, lacking common ad-tech stacks or transparency in pricing. Fragmentation raises transaction costs, deters new entrants, and slows the growth trajectory of programmatic spend within the Southeast Asia Advertising market.

Segment Analysis

Traditional channels retained a 60.12% share of the South East Asia Advertising market in 2025, buoyed by entrenched TV viewership among rural and older audiences. Yet the segment's modest growth contrasts with digital media's 15.05% CAGR, signaling an irreversible consumption pivot fueled by smartphones and cheaper data plans. Rapid gains stem from programmatic buying efficiencies and granular targeting that television or print cannot match. Thailand marked a pivotal moment in 2024 when digital ad spend surpassed TV, taking 45% versus 35%, underlining consumer migration to online video and social feeds.

Digital's advance is accelerated further by cross-border e-commerce campaigns demanding real-time localization, a capability only algorithmic channels can deliver. Meanwhile, cinema and classic outdoor formats remain relevant in dense metros, where premium audiences value immersive, brand-safe settings. Still, the differential in performance metrics, attribution, and audience data tilts budgets heavily toward digital, reinforcing a feedback loop that reshapes the spending mix of the Southeast Asia Advertising market over the forecast period.

Television's 29.35% stake in 2025 still positions it as the most lucrative single medium, reflecting both legacy habit and mass-reach efficiency. However, Digital Out-of-Home exhibits the highest trajectory at 15.72% CAGR, aided by falling screen costs, 5G connectivity, and standardized impression counting frameworks. Advertisers appreciate DOOH's ability to refresh creative by daypart or trigger ads based on localized stimuli such as weather or traffic congestion.

Traditional print and radio keep niche appeal, newspaper inserts among older readers, and commuter-time radio ads on high-congestion routes, but their share contracts as measurement gaps widen. Cinema capitalizes on blockbuster releases for premium placements, yet venue capacity caps growth. Digital advertising covering search, social, display, and OTT video continues to siphon dollars from broadcast budgets, riding on better attribution models and AI-enhanced creative testing that optimize in-flight performance for brands across the Southeast Asia Advertising market.
