The advertising industry is highly dependent on the media for ad placement and the creatives for material production. Consumer use of media plays a role in determining the extent of advertising expenditures – in countries where the print is being substituted by all things digital, newspaper advertising spending will suffer while the internet will command a larger share of investments.
However, the generally observed trend is that internet ad spend has already overtaken other media, leaving even TV advertising behind. According to market projections, internet will continue to command larger shares of investments, a trend which will be reinforced by the coronavirus pandemic repercussions.
Advertising often varies by market maturity which directly affects the growth rates – developing markets will experience larger ad spend growth than those which are already saturated. North America is an example of a mature market, with ad investment growth of around three percent. On the other hand, the LATAM and CEE regions show the highest potential to develop in the coming years, at an impressive rate of over eight percent.
Advertising market worldwideGlobally, digital advertising accounts for more than half of ad expenditures and is set upon a steady path towards future growth. Despite the slight dip in 2020 when even digital advertising suffered due to the coronavirus outbreak, the online segment of the industry will bounce back. Search, social media, and banner ads are now the dominant formats and will characterize the future of advertising, leaving traditional methods behind.
Online advertising metricsAdvanced TV is a term encompassing all forms of watching television that is not done in a traditional way, so excluding broadcast, cable, and satellite. Advanced TV advertising enables delivery of promotional messages straight to TV receivers (e.g. on connected TVs, VoD, OTT TV, etc ) but with greater accuracy. The advantages of this form of advertising include improved targeting and cross-screen measuring, while among the frequently cited challenges are ad fraud and data transparency.
