By Abimbola Mohammed
Digital marketing continues to grow at a speed of light that even in 2021 alone the growth in digital advertising value grew to nearly $486.0 billion. Since then it has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5% since 2016.
According to a recent report by Research and Markets on “Digital Advertising Global Market Opportunities and Strategies To 2031”, digital advertising growth will continue at a strong pace.
While the fastest-growing regions in the digital advertising market will be Africa and the Middle East where growth will be at CAGRs of 18.6% and 17.2% respectively, R&M forecast the market to grow from $486.0 billion in 2021 to $980.2 billion in 2026 at a rate of 15.1%. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2026 and reach $1.79 trillion in 2031.
“Growth in the historic period resulted from the strong economic growth in emerging markets, increased internet penetration, government initiatives in developing economies, rising penetration of e-commerce, increased availability of mobile devices, rapid development in technology, an increase in social media usage and the impact of COVID-19,” Research and Markets said.
Going forward, increasing advertising expenditure by end-use industries, rising urbanization, and increasing adoption of 5G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) will drive market growth.
While giving this report, R&M further stated the factors that could hinder the growth of the digital advertising market in the future as stringent regulations, intense competition, security challenges and data localization.
