Continued Growth on the Advertising Market
The size of the 2017 advertisement cake was HUF 240.98 billion
Budapest, 28 February 2018 – The Hungarian Advertising Association (MRSZ) and its co-associations once again used the Evolution conference to publish their data on the 2017 advertising expenditure. The size of the 2017 ad cake was HUF 240.98 billion, which compared to the previous years’ HUF 216.09 billion constitutes a similar, 11.52% growth. Each segment of the ad cake retained its position from last year, and an increase was noted in all media types.
The ranking of the media types did not change compared to 2016. On-line continues to be the strongest market player, representing 31.71%. Nevertheless, even despite drawbacks, each and every segment realised some growth. The largest increase (18.48%) took place in print, followed by the growth of the internet (14.38%) and the 13.44% expansion of the public domain.
The state became the largest player of the advertising industry already back in 2016, and its role has strengthened ever since. ”If you look at the numbers through an outsiders’ eyes, you will see great results and a healthy market. At the same time you cannot overlook the fact that the state takes more than HUF 40 billion from the ad cake. However, compared to the previous year, we can see higher numbers also in the commercial segment, which gives us good reason to be hopeful, even though current ad expenditures are still below the pre-crisis GDP-proportionate levels.
