The decline in offline ad spending is the key driver of the market. The trend in advertising spending has seen a significant shift from traditional offline media, such as magazines and newspapers, to digital channels. This shift is attributed to the affordability and reach of digital advertising. While print media advertising, which encompasses ads in newspapers and magazines, has experienced a decline in recent years, digital advertising continues to gain traction. The sales of print media, including newspapers and magazines, have reduced due to the emergence of digital alternatives like e-papers and e-magazines. In India, for instance, the average issue readership of leading newspapers has decreased. As a result, businesses are increasingly turning to digital platforms for their advertising needs.
Digital advertising offers cost-effective solutions, particularly for small-sized businesses, and provides targeted reach through search engine results and social media platforms. Consequently, the global market for digital advertisement spending is projected to grow during the forecast period.
The evolution of programmatic advertisement buying is the upcoming trend in the market. Programmatic advertisement buying has revolutionized the digital advertising market by streamlining the process of purchasing digital ads. Unlike traditional print media advertising in newspapers and magazines, programmatic advertising offers targeted reach through Real-Time Bidding (RTB) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technology enables online display, mobile, video, and social media campaigns, providing advertisers with a more efficient and cost-effective solution. Previously, digital advertisements were sold manually by salespeople, leading to potential unreliability and high costs. RTB is the dominant type of programmatic advertising, where online advertising display inventory is bought and sold through a bidding process. Advertisers can bid for inventory that aligns with their target audience demographics, ensuring maximum reach and impact.
The leading programmatic advertising method, RTB, offers an auction environment provided by advertising exchanges/marketplaces, enabling real-time bidding and optimal ad placement.
Challenges associated with OTT advertising is a key challenge affecting the market growth. Digital advertisement spending in the print media sector, including print newspapers and magazines, continues to hold a significant market share. However, the shift towards digital platforms, particularly Over-The-Top (OTT) media, is gaining momentum. OTT advertising, while offering unique advantages such as real-time audience targeting and personalization, presents challenges for digital advertisers. The absence of standardized identifiers for device identification and ad delivery hinders effective targeting and frequency management. As a result, advertisers struggle to deliver relevant ads to specific users, limiting the potential reach and impact of their campaigns. Furthermore, the lack of transparency and vulnerability to fraudulent activities in OTT advertising can negatively impact an advertiser's budget and brand reputation.
Despite these challenges, the OTT advertising market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, necessitating continuous innovation and improvement in addressing these issues.
