Next year, Snapchat’s ad revenues will increase by 10.4% worldwide after a year of almost no growth. Its ad revenues will rise from $3.80 billion this year to $4.20 billion next year, but they’ll still make up just 0.6% of total digital ad revenues worldwide.

Beyond the chart: Snap reported late last month that its quarterly revenues had fallen for the first time since the company went public in 2017. Days after the earnings report, the company announced new AI-driven ads at the Interactive Advertising Bureau NewFronts. But Snapchat remains difficult to monetize as it is primarily a messaging app, and its users aren’t as open to ads as users of other social networks are.
