US 2020 Media Advertising Recession Will Linger In 2021

fitchratings | April 07, 2020

The coronavirus pandemic and related macroeconomic shock will result in a significant near-term pull-back in advertising that results in an ad recession in 2020 with effects lingering in 2021, says Fitch Ratings. The extent of the decline in 2020 and the strength and pace of recovery will be based on how much advertising spend is temporarily deferred compared with spend put off indefinitely. We expect overall advertising spending to contract in the mid-to-high single-digits range during 2020 and in the low-to-mid-single digits during 2021. We will revisit our assumptions as the effects of the pandemic continue to evolve. Advertising revenue rebounded relatively quickly following the Great Recession, illustrating the industry’s ability to recover from recessionary shocks.
