Online Ad Spending Market 2022-2026: Drivers & Challenges
The decline in offline ad spending is one of the key drivers supporting the online ad spending market growth. Due to the rising competition from digital avenues such as audio streaming services, spending on radio ads has declined in recent years. However, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a further decline in radio ad spending. Due to the lockdowns, fewer people commuted to work, which resulted in reduced daily listenership, which constrained the global radio advertising market. For instance, in the US, the average unit ad rates per 30-second spot on radio networks declined by 18.2% in 2020 compared to 2019. Similarly, in India, radio ad volumes declined in Q1 2020 by 34% compared to the same period in the previous year. In April 2020, the number of brands advertising on radio in the country declined to 650 as compared to 2000 in March 2020. Thus, the decline in offline ad spending will positively impact the growth of the global online ad spending market during the forecast period.
However, Click fraud activities are one of the factors hindering the online ad spending market growth. With the increasing number of smartphone users, mobile advertising has become one of the fastest-growing segments of online advertising. Many ad publishers are engaged in ad stacking, click injecting, and running background ads on mobile apps. However, this has also increased the amount of in-app click frauds. For instance, in 2020, mobile apps had a share of 19% of all fraudulent clicks. Though not considered a click fraud activity, users can sometimes engage in behavior that could lead to an outcome similar to click fraud. Such instances can occur when a user regularly clicks on a PPC search ad to visit a particular website instead of navigating it directly from a search engine. Thus, click fraud activities can pose a challenge to online advertisers and lead to a decline in their revenues.
