Digital Advertising Dominates Global Ad Revenue Growth in 2023

Digital advertising is the dominant force in the industry, set to account for 68.8% of global ad revenue growth in 2023 and reach 74.4% of total ad revenue by 2028, according to a recent GroupM report. This year, digital pureplay ad revenue will be limited by success rather than economic problems. The report also highlighted the growth of retail media networks, with the sector growing 9.9% to reach $125.7 billion in 2023, on track to surpass television revenue in 2028. In contrast, traditional TV revenue was forecast to be $133.6 billion in 2023 (not including U.S. political advertising), representing a 1.2% drop from the previous year. Connected TV, however, is estimated to come in at $25.9 billion this year, increasing by 10.4% from 2023 to 2028 on a compound annual basis to $42.5 billion. Digital out-of-home is also seeing significant growth, with the sector estimated to rise 26.1% to $13.3 billion this year, more than double that of OOH overall, which is anticipated to grow 12.7% to $35.6 billion. On a global scale, total ad spend (excluding U.S. political advertising) is predicted to grow by 5.9% to $874.5 billion in 2023 and 6% next year. In the U.S., total ad spend is set to increase by 5.1% to $322.5 billion in 2023 and 5% in 2024.

Global digital ad spending will “only” increase at 8.4% in 2023, according to a GroupM report out today. This is its smallest increase since the 2009 financial crisis, but this year it is limited by success, not economic problems. Digital, in all its various forms and formats, continues to be the dominant force in the industry, accounting for 68.8% of global ad revenue growth in 2023 and expected to reach 74.4% of total ad revenue by 2028.
