Global B2B media market by events

Events are the largest revenue stream in B2B media market mainly due to its ability to provide an interactive and immersive experience of the company's products and services to its potential customers. Events leave a lasting impression of the products and services in the market, making it the primary source of lead generation and helping in achieving a measurable ROI in future,” says Ujjwal Doshi, a lead analyst at Technavio for publishing and advertising research.

Though lead generation is the primary objective for events, it also helps in brand building, customer engagement, and demand generation. Nearly 85% of B2B marketers invest in events, 75% of them conduct one event every quarter, and 36% conduct an event every month.

Global print B2B media market

"Print media in B2B market has a strong presence. However, the growth of this segment is hindered due to the rapid declining interest of customers in print media. Print media accounted for 24.58% of B2B media revenue in 2015 and is expected to decline to 10.01% by 2020.

Print media marketing is the most cost-effective marketing solution for B2B companies, making it viable companies working on low marketing budgets. As of 2015, 76% of small-companies use print media, while only 45% of large enterprises use print in B2B marketing.

However, the impact of print media as a technique for mass marketing has greatly reduced because of the declining sales of print versions of newspapers and magazines all over the world. With the global digital transformation, print media has taken a serious hit and it is expected to continue declining during the forecast period. In 2015, B2B print media market accounted for USD 7.28 billion, and it is expected to fall to USD 3.22 billion by 2020, declining at a CAGR of 15.07% during the forecast period.

Global digital B2B media market

Digital segment is the fastest growing segment with increasing number of companies adopting digital technology. It accounted for 23.11% of B2B media revenue in 2015 and it is expected to grow to 32.58% by 2020.

In 2015, the B2B digital media market accounted for USD 6.84 billion, and it is expected to reach USD 10.47 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 8.87% during the forecast period. Digital marketing is the fastest growing sector in B2B environment due to the large number of options it provides to the marketer. Digital media helps in acquiring leads through multiple outlets such as searches, blogs, social media, videos, and emails. In digital marketing, social media is the fastest growing segment.

Digital advertising is also becoming very popular in the marketing service solutions in B2B media.
