Analyst Opinion

The In-App Advertising market in North America is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences:
Customers in North America are increasingly spending more time on their mobile devices, particularly smartphones and tablets. This shift in consumer behavior has led to a higher demand for mobile apps, resulting in a larger audience for in-app advertising. Furthermore, customers in North America are becoming more receptive to targeted advertising that is relevant to their interests and needs. This has created opportunities for advertisers to deliver personalized and engaging in-app advertisements.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the In-App Advertising market in North America is the rise of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows for automated buying and selling of ad inventory, enabling advertisers to reach their target audience more efficiently and effectively. This trend has been driven by advancements in technology and data analytics, which have made it easier for advertisers to optimize their campaigns and measure their return on investment. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of native advertising in mobile apps. Native ads blend seamlessly with the app's content, providing a non-intrusive and more engaging user experience. This type of advertising has gained popularity among advertisers in North America as it allows them to deliver their message in a way that feels natural and relevant to the app's users.

Local special circumstances:
The In-App Advertising market in North America is also influenced by local special circumstances. For example, the presence of large tech companies such as Google and Facebook, which have extensive advertising networks, has contributed to the growth of the market. These companies have the resources and expertise to develop innovative ad formats and targeting capabilities, attracting advertisers to their platforms. Furthermore, the competitive landscape in North America, with a large number of app publishers and developers, has created a diverse and dynamic market for in-app advertising. This competition has led to the development of new ad formats and strategies to capture the attention of users and drive higher engagement rates.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the In-App Advertising market in North America is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. For instance, the strong economic growth in the region has increased consumer spending power, leading to higher demand for goods and services, including mobile apps. This has created a favorable environment for advertisers to invest in in-app advertising and reach a larger audience. Additionally, the high smartphone penetration rate in North America has contributed to the growth of the market. With a large population of smartphone users, advertisers have a larger pool of potential customers to target with their in-app advertisements. This has resulted in increased ad spending and revenue for app publishers and developers. In conclusion, the In-App Advertising market in North America is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The increasing use of mobile devices, the rise of programmatic advertising, and the presence of tech giants are driving the growth of the market. Additionally, the competitive landscape and strong macroeconomic factors in the region are contributing to the expansion of the In-App Advertising market in North America.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on in-app advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers ad spending on advertisements displayed within a mobile application.

Modeling approach:

The market size is determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use market data from independent databases, the number of application downloads from data partners, survey results taken from our primary research (e.g., the Consumer Insights Global Survey), and third-party reports to analyze and estimate global in-app advertising spending. To analyze the markets, we start by researching digital advertising in mobile applications for each advertising format, incidents of in-app and mobile browser usage, as well as the time spent in mobile apps by categories. 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, mobile users, and digital consumer spending. Lastly, we benchmark key countries and/or regions (e.g., global, the United States, China) with external sources.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:
