Digitization in the Middle East Vs. the west
In western societies, digitization had started much earlier than the Middle Eastern societies. With the western societies realizing that digitization is much more convenient as well as pushed forward towards the future they adopted it and implemented many digital transformations over the past two decades.
In comparison, the Middle East started focusing on digital transformations during the past decade but only really gave it importance during the Covid-19 pandemic since everything was on lockdown and if anyone wanted to do anything they had to do it from home through online and digital platforms.
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the digitization process of every field in almost every country in the world as most of the countries were forced to enforce lockdowns and curfews as well to make sure that the situation is under control, this, in turn, allowed all the online businesses to bloom while threatened the traditional ones to fall behind if they did not adopt a digital approach to their business strategy.
The 900% increase in search for social and digital media agencies means that the demand for their services has increased by 900% allowing more social and digital media agencies to open for business because more business opportunities are presented.
