Internet advertising: wired and mobile

Overall global spending on Internet advertising—both wired and mobile—will rise to $188.1 billion in 2016 at a 15.9 percent compound annual growth rate. Paid search, a format not available in other media, will continue to attract spending, whilst increasing traffic on social networking sites and growing time spent online are attracting advertising and fuelling growth in banner/display advertising. Online classifieds will gain share from the print media and will benefit from improving economic conditions in certain countries; faster broadband speeds and increased TV streaming from broadcasters and over-the-top providers will drive online video advertising; and growing tablet and smartphone penetration and growth in the mobile Internet access subscriber base will boost mobile advertising.

China to pass Japan in 2013 to become second largest internet advertising market

China will have the fastest-growing Internet advertising market in Asia Pacific, growing at a 32.1 percent CAGR to $31 billion in 2016, and overtaking Japan in 2013 as the region’s largest market and second-largest in the world behind the US.


By 2016, global mobile internet advertising revenues of $24.5 billion will grow at 36.5 percent compounded annually, to almost match the size of the classified internet advertising market. However, paid search at $78.1 billion and banner/display at $46.6 billion will retain the lion’s share of the market in 2016.
