For a fact, UAE’s economy was based primarily on the fishing and pearl industry before they discovered oil in the mid-20th century. When oil exports began in the 1960s, the country’s economy rapidly transformed. Consumers in the UAE are most diverse across the Gulf countries, as only 11.5% of the population is Emirati and the majority of the population consists of immigrants with significantly different levels of income. United Arab Emirates has the largest advertising market and newspaper advertising expenditure among GCC countries, however, the market has been shrinking due to declining readership figures (Only 25% of Emiratis read newspapers every day –  Mideast Media Survey) and the regional economic recession. The UAE advertising market accounting for 48% of total advertising expenditure across the Gulf region. Digital advertising fails to take off despite Emiratis being one of the most digitally connected in the region. Internet penetration is over 90% while smartphone penetration is at 99%. Nonetheless, digital advertising spending is not fully regulated and not included in the total advertising expenditure.
