2. Global Media Intelligence Report 2015
Overview
Developments in the past year—both good and bad—have
demonstrated yet again how closely all parts of the world
are now interdependent. For example, the global fall in oil
prices has meant a welcome drop in costs for countries
that import oil and other petroleum products, including
most of Western Europe. But it’s a painful shock for oil-
exporting nations, especially those in the Middle East and
Latin America that derive a big share of revenues from those
sales. Changes of that magnitude can directly affect the
national mood, government policies, business confidence
and consumer spending.
In Q3 2015, several of the adverse factors we noted in last
year’s Global Media Intelligence report still weigh on the
world’s prospects for economic growth and stability.
One is the eurozone crisis, which remains a major cause of
concern. A third bailout of the Greek economy, announced in
mid-August, calmed nerves in the very short term but didn’t
alter the essential circumstances that sparked a degree of
panic earlier this year. The conditions imposed on Greece
by its troika of main creditors are no less difficult than those
that led to the resounding success of the anti-austerity Syriza
party in January 2015 elections—so further volatility seems
inevitable. Elsewhere in Western Europe, France and Italy also
face severe economic problems. On the other hand, Portugal,
Spain and the UK have maintained a positive trajectory,
emerging well from the long-term effects of the recession
that began in 2008.
In the US—still the leading engine of world trade and
consumption—the recovery continues, judging by a range
of indicators. But performance in Q1 2015 was not as
robust as expected and progress has been uneven; as a
result, much of Latin America hasn’t registered the boost
in trade and consumer confidence that normally follows an
uptick in the US.
Similarly, previously solid GDP gains in several developing
markets have slowed, often due to lower demand from
advanced economies. One huge worry is China, where
GDP growth has been sliding since July 2014. Apart from
the slowdown in China, other destabilizing factors include
the worsening situation in the Middle East, where violence
is endemic in Libya, Syria, Gaza and Iraq. The Islamic State
(IS)—a relatively minor player until last year—is now a force to
be reckoned with.
At the same time, the economic scenario is improving in
many countries, including India, Peru and South Africa.
Against this background—sometimes, indeed, because of
it—the rise of digital technology is unstoppable.

3. Asia-Pacific
In many developing economies in Asia-Pacific, large numbers
of residents still rely heavily on traditional media platforms,
and television in particular. Newspapers remain broadly
popular throughout the region but aren’t suitable for all
advertisers, as readership rates depend on literacy levels.
Meanwhile, mobile platforms offer the best option for many
consumers, including those on lower incomes, to go online.
Indonesia offers a case in point. According to research, 27.0%
of the country’s adult urban population accessed the internet
with a mobile phone in 2014, compared with just 21.0% the
previous year.
Across the region, smartphones and the accompanying data
tariffs are becoming much more affordable too. For many
members of Asia-Pacific’s emerging middle class, advanced
handsets will be the preferred route to the internet in the
months and years ahead. eMarketer predicts that the regional
population of smartphone users will pass 1 billion this year.
China alone will account for more than 525 million of the total.
Central & Eastern Europe
The level of smartphone usage in Central and Eastern Europe
is still lower than in many other parts of the world. eMarketer
estimates that fewer than half the region’s mobile phone
users will have an advanced handset this year, compared with
more than 65% in Western Europe and nearly 74% in North
America.
Yet smartphone usage is expanding faster in Central and
Eastern Europe than in any other region. The Czech Republic
is typical of the countries undergoing this transformation.
eMarketer predicts that the number of smartphone users
there will rise by 21.2% this year, as penetration approaches
45%. Meanwhile, though, the smartphone population is
dominated by young, affluent male consumers. In H2 2014,
over 54% of smartphone owners in the Czech Republic polled
by MEDIAN s.r.o were ages 12 to 34, half (49.7%) hailed from
the most well-to-do households and more than 55% were
male.
In most Central and Eastern European countries, social
networking has now spread beyond the ranks of early
adopters, and is increasingly popular across all demographics,
even when overall penetration isn’t especially high.
In Poland, however, social network users still comprise one
of the more distinctive of all media audiences. Although more
than 56% of internet users ages 15 to 60 visited social media
last year, women accounted for more than 58% of that group,
and 63.2% were ages 15 to 34.

4. Latin America
Until recently, import taxes and other charges kept
smartphones beyond the reach of most consumers in Latin
America. Now many residents are making up for lost time,
encouraged by the arrival of cheaper models. eMarketer
estimates that nearly 160 million people in Latin America will
use an advanced handset in 2015.
In 2016, just two countries, Brazil and Mexico, will be home to
nearly 100 million smartphone users. But there is much more
growth to come; regional smartphone penetration hasn’t yet
passed 40%, though it will do so this year.
TV is popular throughout Latin America, but especially so in
Chile. In that country, an estimated 97.7% of residents 12
and older watched free-to-air TV content each week in 2014.
In addition, 68.0% watched cable television and 19.6% had
access to satellite television programs.
At the same time, some TV consumption seems to be
transferring to digital platforms. Chile registered one of the
highest regional gains in digital video viewing last year, as the
share of residents watching in the 30 days prior to polling shot
from 17.5% to 39.1%. Males outnumbered females in this
audience by 53.5% to 46.5%.
Middle East & Africa
Predictably, internet penetration remains far higher in wealthy
states such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) than in Egypt or South Africa. Yet some of the less
developed nations in the region already boast far larger online
audiences than the most prosperous Middle East countries.
For example, Nigeria will be home to more than 63 million
monthly internet users this year, eMarketer estimates,
compared with 17.5 million individuals online regularly in
Saudi Arabia. Overall, 416.9 million people in the Middle East
and Africa are expected to use the internet at least once
per month in 2015. In 2019, that number will approach 575
million.
Patriarchal traditions are still strong in much of the Middle
East, and continue to influence media consumption. Males
have often had higher incomes than females, for example, as
well as greater access to digital devices and greater freedom
to engage with the internet. So it’s not surprising that last year,
males accounted for 58.2% of mobile phone internet users in
Egypt, 57.9% of those in Kuwait and 54.4% of those in UAE.
Yet Saudi Arabia presented a different picture: Females
accounted for nearly 59% of residents ages 15 and older who
accessed the web with a mobile phone in 2014. Females also
outnumbered males among smartphone owners in Saudi
Arabia, by 55.7% to 44.3%.

5. North America
Thanks to a generally high standard of living, most households
in North America have some disposable income, and high-
end digital devices such as tablets feature on many shopping
lists.
This year, an estimated 61.1% of US internet users will use
a tablet at least once per month—an audience of nearly 159
million. In Canada, more than 15 million people will be tablet
users—equivalent to 42.0% of the entire population. By the
end of the forecast period, eMarketer predicts that almost
200 million individuals in the region will be monthly tablet
users.
Underpinned by greater penetration of tablets, smartphones
and other digital devices, digital video viewing is also surging
ahead in the US. eMarketer estimates that the number of
residents watching video on digital platforms at least once
per month will pass 204 million in 2015, and reach 220 million
within three years. Internet users ages 12 to 34 will remain
the keenest audience; more than 90% of this cohort will be
regular viewers of digital video in 2015.
Among older consumers, the likelihood of watching such
content declines in direct correlation with age. For example,
barely half (49.7%) of seniors 65 and older will watch digital
video monthly this year—but that share is expected to reach
59.0% in 2019.
Western Europe
With its advanced economies, robust digital infrastructure
and history of technological innovation, it’s easy to presume
that Western Europe has almost uniformly high internet
penetration. But this is far from true. In 2015, Denmark,

6. Norway and the Netherlands will all register at least 86.0%
of residents going online once per month or more, eMarketer
estimates. In the UK—acknowledged as a powerhouse of
digital culture—penetration will be substantially lower, at
78.4%. Notably, two of the region’s major powers, Italy and
Spain, will continue to languish by this measure, with just
58.6% and 67.1% of their respective populations accessing
the web regularly this year.
Italy, in particular, is expected to have not only the lowest
level of internet penetration in 2015, but also one of the
lowest growth rates, at just 1.3%. This is a stark reminder
that advertisers across the region can face very different
choices when it comes to prioritizing marketing channels and
platforms.
In Germany, traditional media held firm in 2014. More than
99% of German-speaking residents ages 14 and older
watched TV in their free time last year, while 95.5% read
magazines, 93.0% read newspapers and 89.5% listened
to radio programming. Moreover, all these traditional media
enjoyed greater reach than digital channels. On the other
hand, new media posted gains too. An estimated 73.5% of
consumers used the internet, and nearly 45% of respondents
owned one or more smartphones. More than one-third
(34.2%) used a tablet at least once per month.
