US social ad spend growth will near 9% this year and return to double digits in 2024, per our forecast. Last year’s 3.6% increase reflects a normalization after 2021’s rapid growth, as well as targeting challenges resulting from Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency framework.

Beyond the chart: Even though the social ad market is picking back up, it will account for a smaller portion of digital ad spend this year (25.5%) than it did in 2022 (26.3%). Retail media and connected TV are increasing in digital ad spend share as social declines.
