Adtech To Drive Internet Advertising To $US1 Trillion By 2030

Advertising technology is a blanket term covering all software and services used to deliver and target digital advertisements. It is the backbone of the internet advertising industry, which is set to grow from $US438 billion in 2021 to $US1 trillion in 2030, forecasts GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

GlobalData’s latest report, ‘Advertising Tech (Adtech) – Thematic Research’, reveals that adtech’s emergence over the past 25 years has been driven by the rise in the number of internet users; the emergence of mobile, social media, ecommerce, and streaming platforms; and the growing sophistication of analytics tools. However, it is under scrutiny from data privacy regulators for its role in mishandling users’ data.

Rupantar Guha, principal analyst in thematic team at GlobalData, said: “Adtech vendors have been forced to rethink their strategies due to the emergence of legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They must adopt privacy-first approaches and ensure that user data is not shared among partners.

“In addition, the withdrawal of third-party cookies from web browsers and privacy-related changes to Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) and Google’s Android Advertising ID (AAID) are threatening longstanding ad targeting practices.”

As a result, data collection methods are changing, with adtech vendors focusing on first-party data and adopting consent-driven personalisation. Data management platforms that operate on third-party data will face an existential threat in the post-cookie world as the industry moves towards first-party data.

Guha added: “The adtech industry is primarily a face-off between tech giants like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Alibaba and pure play vendors like The Trade Desk, MediaMath, and Amobee. The tech giants dominate the market with their massive user bases and sophisticated adtech walled gardens. Several pure play vendors will become acquisition targets for Big Tech vendors over the next three years.”
