  • Summary

  • The current state of the advertising industry is marked by a mix of stability and transformation. Despite economic uncertainties, ad spending is projected to grow steadily. In the U.S., ad spending is expected to surge by 4.4% this year to reach $570 billion, excluding political advertising, according to the Winterberry Group. Including political ads, the growth rate jumps to 10.4%, hitting $587 billion[1].

    Globally, the ad market is also showing signs of normalization after the pandemic-driven instability. GroupM forecasts a 5.3% growth in the global ad market this year, slightly down from the 5.8% expansion in 2023[2]. PwC predicts that online advertising spending will rebound this year, jumping to $252.8 billion, representing a 12.4% increase[3].

    Key trends shaping the industry include the maturation of the digital ad landscape, with digital advertising expected to constitute about 70% of global ad revenue in 2024. The growth of "pure play" digital advertising from search and social media is projected to slow down, transitioning from double-digit to single-digit percentage increases annually[2].

    Another significant shift is the rise of connected TV advertising, with dollars migrating from linear TV. CTV in-stream video internet advertising spending is expected to grow by 17.1% this year and at a CAGR of 12.4% through 2028[3].

    Marketers are also focusing more on direct-to-consumer marketing through proprietary apps, reducing external ad spending, notably in sectors like auto manufacturing, retail, and entertainment[2]. The use of AI in marketing is becoming more prevalent, with 64% of marketers already using it and 38% planning to start in 2024[4].

    Short-form video is emerging as a dominant content marketing format, with most marketers saying it offers the highest ROI. 26% of marketers plan to invest more in short-form video than any other format in 2024, and 57% of marketers who leverage short-form video will increase their investment[4].

    In response to current challenges, industry leaders are adapting by leveraging AI tools, focusing on social media targeting and first-party data, and exploring new formats like connected TV and short-form video. Despite headwinds, the advertising industry is poised for continued growth, with advertising projected to top $1 trillion in 2026 and grow at a 6.7% CAGR through 2028[5].

    Overall, the advertising industry is navigating through a period of transformation, driven by technological advancements, changing consumer behaviors, and evolving market dynamics. By embracing these changes, industry leaders are positioning themselves for sustained growth and success.
