The number of advertisers slightly increased by 2.4%, with 859 advertisers compared to 839 in 2024. Advertising spending tends to increase during Ramadan because it’s a special time in many Muslim majority countries. During this period, people adjust their routines and engage more with the media. This is especially true during iftar, when families gather to share meals, and often watch TV together. This makes it an ideal time for advertisers, especially those in sectors like food and beverages.
