Digital ad spending across several industries in the UK has been up-and-down the past two years. There will be across-the-board growth this year, but at uneven rates, ranging from 33.0% for travel to 7.8% for automotive.
Digital ad spending in the US increased by $19.79 billion last year, a nice result given the stagnancy of the country’s overall media ad market (which includes traditional formats, like TV, radio, and print, where ad spending declined by 18.1%).
After a complicated 2020, most industries in Germany will accelerate their digital ad spending growth in 2021. The rebound for travel and auto will underwhelm, but retail spend will soar.
Ad spending growth was relatively even across the board in 2019, but we saw massive declines in 2020 for some segments like travel (-51.0%) and huge growth for others like computing products and consumer electronics (38.8%). And a few notable big swings are expected this year, too:. Travel ad spending will rise 33.0% this year—a massive 84-percentage-point swing.
