future of video marketing 2030 and beyond

Video marketing isn’t just a trend anymore. It’s the heartbeat of digital strategy. Scroll through your feed right now and tell me what do you stop for? Text? Rarely. Photos? Maybe. But videos? If not always, then often!

Video Content: Backbone of Digital Strategy

Video is the new foundation of modern digital strategy. As Pakistan’s online audience continues to grow at a record pace, video has become the most powerful tool to attract attention, build trust, and drive real business results.

Whether you’re a small business owner, a corporate brand, or a startup, understanding how to use video marketing, where it’s headed, and how AI is shaping it can make the difference between getting noticed or getting left behind.

This guide explores what video marketing means for Pakistan’s digital landscape by 2030 and beyond, why it’s crucial for growth, and how you can build a strategy that delivers measurable ROI with a long lasting, memorable brand impression.

What Is Video Marketing?

Video marketing is simply using videos to tell your story. It’s more than just ads or content; it’s emotion, storytelling, and connection.

You may say that video marketing is the strategic use of video content such as ads, explainer videos, testimonials, brand films, and social media reels to promote your products or services, educate your audience, and strengthen your brand presence.

Unlike traditional advertising, video marketing lets you show it rather than talk about it.  And in a world where attention spans are shrinking fast, video is what people choose to watch first.

Why Video Marketing Matters More Than Ever

Pakistan’s digital audience has shifted toward video-first platforms. Let’s stats speak for themselves.

As of 2025, over 116 million internet users and 66 million social media users are consuming content daily. Platforms like YouTube, Instagram Reels, and TikTok dominate engagement.

By 2030, internet penetration is expected to reach nearly 70%, with most users preferring video-based learning, entertainment, and shopping. 

This shift makes one thing clear:


“If your brand isn’t creating video content, it’s invisible to a large part of your targeted audience.”

The Growth Forecast: 2026–2030

Between 2026 and 2030, digital marketing in Pakistan is projected to grow rapidly. Video will take the lead; it’s predicted to take up nearly 40% of all ad spend.

OTT and streaming platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and local networks will keep growing and are forecast to reach hundreds of millions in revenue, as mobile data gets faster and cheaper.

For marketers, the video-first era is here: and it’s expanding fast, at least until a new content format is invented.

Key Benefits of Video Marketing

1. Stronger Brand Recall

Humans remember visuals far better than text. Back in our journalism courses, we were taught that a picture is worth a thousand words  and honestly, it’s fair to say a video is worth a million today. Researches show that audiences remember 95% of a message when they watch it on video, compared to just 10% when reading it in text.

And when it comes to Gen Z, forget long paragraphs, they scroll fast, think faster, and crave content that’s dynamic, visual, and real. They don’t want to read; they want to watch, feel, and connect. That’s exactly where video marketing wins; it turns your brand message into something unforgettable.

2. Higher Conversions

Want more clicks, more sign-ups, more sales? Add video.
Websites with videos see up to 80% higher conversions. Product videos can boost purchase intent by 140%. Because when people can see what you’re offering, they’re far more likely to act.

3. Builds Trust and Authority

People trust what they can see. A professional video showcasing your process, your team, or customer success stories builds credibility faster than any written ad. Video feels real, and real builds trust.

4. Favored by Algorithms and AI

Be it Facebook, Instagram or Tiktok, social platforms love video. Post Reels, Shorts and Stories. The more videos you post, the more reach, engagement, and visibility you get. Simple. 

5. Perfect for Mobile

Like it or not. Pakistan is a mobile-first country. People may not have PCs or laptops, and even good food to eat but they’ll buy a smartphone before anything else. Let’s face it 

Most users are on smartphones, scrolling on the go. Short, snappy, vertical videos with dynamic shots? That’s what fits their world perfectly.
