Market Dynamics of Out of Home Billboard Market

Key Drivers for the Out-of-Home Billboard Market

The growing use of digital billboards is the Demand Globally

The increasing utilization of digital billboards stands out as a key driver for the out-of-home advertising market. In 2023, the growth rate of digital ad spending moderated to 15 percent, reaching Rs 39,714 crore, compared to 35 percent in 2022, amounting to Rs 34,405 crore. In 2021, this segment experienced a remarkable 50 percent growth, reaching Rs 25,438 crore from Rs 16,974 crore. Digital billboards offer the flexibility to be placed strategically near target audiences, owing to their portable properties. Their advanced features, including continuous light emission throughout the day and night, make them an attractive option for businesses seeking effective advertising avenues. Consequently, the demand for out-of-home advertising experiences a surge during the analysis period.

Increased Spending on Advertising to Propel Market Growth

As businesses vie for consumer attention in a competitive market, advertising expenditure is on the rise, increasing by 11.8% in 2023. Total ad sales surged from Rs 98,200 crore in 2022 to Rs 1,09,900 crore in 2023. Advertising spending saw a growth of 9.6% in the first half of 2023, which accelerated to 13.8% in the second half. Out-of-home (OOH) advertising, including billboards, remains integral to marketing strategies due to its effective reach to diverse and expansive audiences.

Restraint Factor for the Out-of-Home Billboard Market

High Cost to Limit the Sales

The abundance of billboards lining roadways often leads drivers to prioritize attention to the road rather than side-of-the-road ads. Many billboards receive only fleeting glances, typically lasting mere seconds. Consequently, the primary drawback of digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising formats lies in their transient nature. Given that businesses must pay significant sums for their advertisements to be viewed briefly, the cost per exposure may exceed that of alternative methods. This relatively high cost renders DOOH advertising less practical, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, alternative DOOH formats, such as 6-sheets in shopping centers or post office displays, offer lower costs per panel than billboards. Therefore, the anticipated impediment to the growth of the digital out-of-home industry stems from the high expenses associated with DOOH advertising.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Out-of-Home Billboard Market

As governments worldwide implemented lockdowns and restrictions to contain the spread of the virus, numerous businesses encountered financial uncertainty, prompting them to scale back their advertising budgets. The consequent decrease in outdoor activities and travel restrictions diminished demand for outdoor advertising, including billboards. Consequently, there was a notable decline in ad spending on out-of-home (OOH) platforms as advertisers reevaluated their marketing strategies. However, amid the challenges brought about by the pandemic, certain segments within the OOH billboard market seized growth opportunities. For instance, billboards situated in residential neighborho...

Over the past few years, web design companies have navigated a dynamic landscape marked by both opportunities and challenges. Strong economic conditions have typically favored the industry, with rising disposable incomes and low unemployment rates encouraging both consumers and businesses to invest in professional web design. Despite this, the sector also faced hurdles such as high inflation, which made cost increases necessary and pushed some customers towards cheaper substitutes such as website templates and in-house production, causing a slump in revenue in 2022. Despite these obstacles, the industry has demonstrated resilience against rising interest rates and economic uncertainties by focusing on enhancing user experience and accessibility. Overall, revenue for web design service companies is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 2.2% during the current period, reaching $43.5 billion in 2024. This includes a 2.2% jump in revenue in that year. Looking ahead, web design companies will continue to do well, as the strong performance of the US economy will likely support ongoing demand for web design services, bolstered by higher consumer spending and increased corporate profit. On top of this, government investment, especially at the state and local levels, will provide further revenue streams as public agencies seek to upgrade their web presence. Innovation remains key, with a particular emphasis on designing for mobile devices as more activities shift to on-the-go platforms. Companies that can effectively adapt to these trends and invest in new technologies will likely capture a significant market share, fostering an environment where entry remains feasible yet competitive. Overall, revenue for web design service providers is forecast to swell at a CAGR of 1.9% during the outlook period, reaching $47.7 billion in 2029.

Laboratory testing service companies experienced significant shifts over the past few years, rooted largely in the ebb and flow of economic conditions. During the pandemic, the industry saw unique growth patterns, with health spending surging despite a general downturn in other sectors such as construction. This strange dichotomy was driven by an increased need for health-related testing services, maintaining some buoyancy in overall revenue in 2020. However, post-pandemic recovery didn't uniformly benefit all segments, with corporate profit rises not immediately translating into robust investment growth due to low research and development (R&D) expenditures. In 2022, the rebound in R&D expenditure and changes in workplace policies toward in-person attendance spurred notable revenue gains. Companies started channeling their profit into new ventures, including laboratory testing, while construction demand picked up. Between 2023 and 2024, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to combat inflation, which constrained household credit and slowed consumer spending. This led to reduced business sales and cuts in nonessential expenses like R&D, slowing revenue growth. Despite these challenges, high demand from construction companies bolstered the sector in 2023. By 2024, solid GDP growth eased recessionary fears, bolstering demand for the industry’s services. Growth in revenue during these years also contributed to a jump in profit over the past few years. Overall, revenue for laboratory testing service providers has expanded at a CAGR of 2.5% over the past five years, reaching $33.4 billion in 2025. This includes a 2.5% rise in revenue in that year. Looking forward, the next five years promise continued growth for laboratory testing companies, though not without hurdles. Economic projections point toward stable GDP growth, boosting consumer spending and corporate profit—both favorable conditions for the industry. But potential shifts in fiscal and trade policies, including tariffs and interest rates, loom as threats that could unsettle the market. Furthermore, rising R&D spending augurs well for demand for lab testing, as industries push the envelope on new technology and product development. Nevertheless, public sector R&D budget cuts could stymie some opportunities, nudging companies to increasingly court private sector clientele. As labs integrate AI and automation, larger players stand to gain more market share, potentially leaving smaller labs to adapt through cost-cutting and innovation to remain competitive. Overall, revenue for laboratory testing service companies is forecast to swell at a CAGR of 2.4% over the next five years, reaching $37.6 billion in 2030.

CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE DEHYDRATED POTATO MARKET

Key factors driving the growth of the Dehydrated Potato Market

Increasing demand for ready-to-eat products is a major driver of the Dehydrated Potato industry

Convenience meals have become more popular as a result of the growing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products. Food tasks including meal preparation, cooking, and post-meal activities can be made easier and faster for consumers by convenience foods. Rapid urbanisation and rising gross Household Disposable Income (GHDI) of customers have increased spending on processed and ready-to-eat food items.

Rising busy lifestyles, working-class individuals, teenagers, hostel residents, and single people are pushing the demand for ready-to-eat food. The flavor and convenience of ready-to-eat food products have led to a trend among young people to replace traditional meals with ready-to-eat meals. This is anticipated to drive the market's expansion.

Convenience food consumption rose as a result of changing consumer tastes, a bettering consumer lifestyle, extended working hours, and the COVID-19 outbreak. The demand for these food products is also increasing as a result of this.

As a result, makers of potato goods engage in a variety of commercial activities that aid in market expansion. To enhance the production of dehydrated flakes and other potato products. Iscon Balaji Foods, for example, planned to treble its contract farming activities in Gujarat (India), starting in May 2022. (Source; https://isconbalajifoods.com/)

Three new types of European potatoes were released by the corporation in an effort to meet the segment's growing demand for such goods.
