The advertising industry is highly dependent on the media for ad placement and the creatives for material production. Consumer use of media plays a role in determining the extent of advertising expenditures – in countries where the print is being substituted by all things digital, newspaper advertising spending will suffer while the internet will command a larger share of investments.
However, the generally observed trend is that internet ad spend has already overtaken other media, leaving even TV advertising behind. According to market projections, internet will continue to command larger shares of investments, a trend which will be reinforced by the changes in consumer behavior after the coronavirus pandemic.

Advertising often varies by market maturity which directly affects the growth rates – developing markets will experience larger ad spend growth than those which are already saturated. North America is an example of a mature market, with ad investment growth projected at around five percent by 2023. On the other hand, the LATAM and MENA regions show the highest potential to develop in the coming years, at an impressive rate of roughly nine percent.

Therefore, amid the rapid rise of e-commerce, the current economic uncertainty, and the disappearance of third-party cookies, retail media has been growing into an essential tool for brands.
