Drivers, restraints, and opportunities

The increase in adoption of smartphones, the emergence of high-speed internet, the proliferation of social media, growing expenditure on digital media across various industries, and the surge in popularity of streaming platforms fuel the growth of the global internet advertising market. On the other hand, the rising adoption of ad blockers to avoid online advertising impedes growth to some extent. Nevertheless, the emergence of advertising automation and the rise in the adoption of identity-based pay-per-click (PPC) marketing are expected to create multiple opportunities in the industry.

The rise in utilization of social media during the pandemic led to an increased tendency to take recourse to social media platforms to promote various media content with the target audience, which impacted the global market for Internet advertising positively.
The advertising of media and entertainment content on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram has also become a trend in recent times.

Simultaneously, the hybrid segment would register the fastest CAGR of 22.7% during the forecast period. This is because the hybrid pricing model for Internet advertising enables companies to increase the return on their advertising investments more effectively through better conversion or expanded market reach with the help of a combination of two advertising concepts in a single campaign.
