Key stat: US connected TV (CTV) ad spend will grow 63% between this year and 2027, for a total of $40.90 billion, according to our forecast.

Beyond the chart:

• We downgraded our October 2022 CTV estimate, due to “adverse macroeconomic conditions and challenges in digital ad targeting and measurement,” according to our analyst Paul Verna.
• Still, marketers know the value of investing in CTV: We forecast the channel will grow from $25.09 billion in 2023 to $40.90 billion in 2027. This is especially true as linear TV ad spend continues to fall off, with an expected decline from $61.31 billion to $56.83 billion during that same period.
• Time spent with CTV is growing as a portion of overall time spent with digital. CTV will account for over half of the time spent on digital video, surpassing mobile and desktop video combined this year.
