The new procurement market intelligence report analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Increased number of Internet users

The rapid increase in online ad spending is driven primarily by the surge in the number of Internet users across the globe.  With the rapid adoption of devices such as desktop, laptop, smartphones, and tablets, the internet user penetration has increased as consumers prefer to stay connected with media and the entertainment world.

Growth in use of mobile devices

The rise in the adoption of smartphones is spurring an increase in online advertising. Advertisers are targeting mobile-based applications to advertise their product. Furthermore, there is a shift from mobile search to mobile applications, which is propelling the adoption of in-application advertising. The upsurge in the number of smartphone users also provides brands an opportunity to broaden their channels to promote advertising.

Shift to cost-effective channels of marketing

The global market is experiencing a surge in the cost of advertising services provided by marketing agencies. According to procurement analysts at Technavio, organizations spend an average of 8%-10% of their budget on marketing. However, budgetary constraints are prompting managers to opt for cost-effective channels such as the web and mobile advertising. Online advertising enables brands to reach their target customers effectively at a low cost. One such method is pay-per-click, or PPC wherein the advertiser pays only when a user clicks on the ad/link and visits the website.
