US Digital Ad Spending to Increase 16% in 2017
Last year, total spending for digital ads surpassed spending for television ads. Google and Facebook are the current leaders in search and display ads, respectively. According to Forbes, digital ad spending will reach $120 billion by 2021 (46% of all advertising), including paid search, display advertising, social media advertising, online video advertising and email marketing.
Total digital ad spending in the U.S. will increase 16% this year to $83 billion, led by Google’s continued dominance of the search ad market and Facebook ’s FB -0.25% growing share of display and mobile ads, according to eMarketer’s latest forecast.
Google’s U.S. revenue from digital ads is expected to increase about 15% this year, while Facebook’s will jump 32%, more than previously expected, according to the market research company’s latest forecast report.
But Facebook’s furious growth is also starting to slowly shrink the gap with longtime digital ad king Google. As the overall digital ad industry expands, Google’s share of the U.S. market will shrink slightly to 40.7% in 2017, as Facebook steals share from competitors to reach 19.7% of the market, eMarketer predicts.
Facebook beats Google, Twitter and Yahoo YHOO -0.45% when it comes to display advertising. The social media giant is on track to boost its U.S. display business to $16.33 billion this year, with its market share topping 39%. Instagram is helping drive up Facebook’s mobile business, accounting for 20% of Facebook’s U.S. mobile revenue this year, up from 15% last year, according to eMarketer.
