As a result, advertisers are recognizing the potential of digital audio advertising to reach a highly engaged audience.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the digital audio advertising market is the rise of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows advertisers to target specific audience segments and deliver personalized ads in real-time. This level of targeting and personalization is highly appealing to advertisers, as it helps them reach the right audience with the right message at the right time. Additionally, programmatic advertising offers greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional advertising methods. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of voice-activated devices. Smart speakers and virtual assistants, such as Amazon Echo and Google Home, have become common household items. These devices provide a seamless audio experience and offer opportunities for advertisers to engage with consumers through voice-activated ads. As the adoption of voice-activated devices continues to grow, so does the potential for digital audio advertising.

Local special circumstances: In the United States, the digital audio advertising market is driven by the popularity of streaming services like Spotify and Pandora. These platforms have a large user base and offer targeted advertising options, making them attractive to advertisers. Additionally, the rise of podcasts has opened up new opportunities for brands to reach niche audiences through sponsorships and ad placements within podcasts.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on digital audio advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers pre- and in-stream audio ads and podcast streaming ads.

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, web traffic, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights Global Survey) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, media consumption, internet users, and digital consumer spending.

Forecasts:

We use a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the market. For instance, the S-curve function is well suited to forecast digital products due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption, whereas exponential trend smoothing (ETS) is more suited for projecting steady growth in traditional advertising markets.

Additional notes:

Data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change.
