According to a current forecast by the Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN), the German advertising market will stagnate. The analysts' last report from June assumed 2.6 percent growth for 2019 and 2020 - now it is only 0.5 percent. In fact, only advertising spending in digital media will actually grow in the next two years. A small plus also goes to the radio stations. In contrast, newspapers and magazines are facing a significant decline in advertising revenue. While the German market is in crisis, advertising expenditure is growing globally, sometimes even strongly, as the graphic shows.
