The longawaited China Advertising Market Report 2019 has been presented to readers, offering a panoramic view of the overall landscape of the Chinese advertising industry based on authoritative data and trend analysis.
The year 2019 marked the 40th anniversary of the recovery of Chinas advertising industry. In the past 40 years, the Chinese advertising industry has experienced from quantitative changes to qualitative changes in terms of its overall scale, practitioners, media form, technological progress, value impact and so on. China has become the second largest advertising market in the world, with the total advertising revenue exceeding 800 billion yuan, among which Internet advertising accounted for more than 70%. With the rapid development of digital technology, Chinas advertising industry has been in a leading position in the global trend of digital advertising transformation.
In 2019, the policy environment of Chinas advertising industry continued to be optimized. The State Council promulgated Regulations on Optimizing Doing Business Environment and issued a series of policies to reduce the tax burden for the majority of market entities. After the outbreak of COVID19 in the spring of 2020, China Advertising Association took the initiative to play the role of a bridge as an industry organization. With the support of higher authorities, China Advertising Association continued to report to the State Council, on behalf of the whole industry, the demand for the cancellation of 3% of the cultural construction fee for the advertising industry. The leadership of the State Council attached great importance to it and made instructions. On May 14, 2020, the Ministry of Finance issued a statement, deciding to exempt the construction fee for cultural undertakings in 2020. The decision was another major positive for the industry, following the policy of halving the levy on cultural construction fees in 2019.
The theme of Chinese advertising in 2019 was digitalization. Advertisers had a more profound understanding and more skilled application of digital marketing, and their digital service transformation was accelerating. All kinds of advertising media launched strategic layout of digitalization, with short videos and live streaming Ecommerce getting more popular. The characteristics of digital marketing communication included (1) the rapid adjustment of the industry structure and the continuously expanding scale of digital marketing; (2) burgeoning short videos and live commerce, making the ecosystem of digital marketing richer and more diverse; (3) accelerated technical iteration and optimization as well as more digital marketing platforms with constant integration and upgrading.

President of China Advertising AssociationPreface ……Preface
Under the organization of China Advertising Association, the series of China advertising market reports is edited by Ms. Chen Yan, vice President of China Advertising Association and associate director of the Academic Committee of China Advertising Association. This series of reports has been published continuously for years since 2015. With rich and accurate data and forwardlooking analytical views, the reports have become an important tool for understanding the advertising market in China.
With the maturity of this series of reports in terms of content and preparation, as well as the demand of external communication in the industry, we decided to launch an English version of the report. China Advertising Market Report 2019 is the first English copy.
The successful publication of this report was attributed to several factors. First of all, the Chinese version constituted a solid foundation. As an expert in brand strategy and big data, Chen Yan strictly reviewed the contents. Chen Gang, Jin Dinghai, Gu Mingyi, Hu Bin, Liu Shuangzhou, Tan Beiping, Tan Chunhong, Xiao Mingchao, and Zeng Fang worked as expert consultants, in addition, CTR Market Research, iResearch, Miaozhen Systems, EntGroup, and Focus Media provided professional data analysis.
Second, it benefited from the excellence of the translation team, which was composed of faculty members from School of Journalism and Communication, Shanghai International Studies University. The translators, Sheng Yingyan (Foreword, Preface, Data Information, and Chapters 3, 4, 10, 11, and 12), Lu Xinyu (Chapters 9 and 13), Tang Renbin (Chapters 1 and 2), Zhu Ke (Chapters 5 and 6), and Ren Feiting (Chapters 7 and 8), carefully read and studied the original text, and revised and improved it to ensure that the translation was appropriate and accurate. Prof. Zhang Jian from Shanghai International Studies University and Tian Xiaoru from advertising industry also provided professional advices.
Experiencing 40 years of development, Chinas advertising market has become the worlds second largest. The global advertising industry needs to understand the situation of Chinas advertising industry, and Chinas advertising industry also needs to be closely connected with the global advertising industry. It is hoped that this report can become an important window for communication between these two parties.
As the first English version of this series of reports, the compilation of it has inevitably been flawed. We hope to continue to hear from our readers, whose comments are the driving force for us to better serve the healthy development of the industry.Data Information ……Data Information
