Definition:

Retail platform advertising (RPA) refers to digital ads displayed on websites and apps dedicated to retail platforms, such as Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Alibaba, and JD.com. This includes all types of advertising across various devices, e.g., PCs, smartphones, and tablets, and covers formats such as sponsored products, banners, and videos. RPA specifically excludes offline retail ads (e.g., in-store displays and billboards), off-site ads (e.g., ads appearing on non-retail websites or apps), ads on social media platforms (e.g., Facebook or Instagram), and ads on search engines (e.g., Google or Bing).

Additional Information:

It is important not to confuse RPA with retail media networks (RMNs). RMNs involve digital ads that are also displayed on retail e-commerce sites or apps, but these ads are purchased through a retailer’s media network or a demand-side platform (DSP). While RMNs include ads on sites such as Amazon and Walmart, they also cover ads bought through networks such as Amazon DSP, Walmart Connect, and Etsy’s Offsite Ads, and these ads may not necessarily appear directly on the retailer’s e-commerce site or app. Unlike RPA, RMNs represent a broader approach that encompasses a range of ad placements, both on and off the retailer’s own platforms.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on Retail platform ad spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses for digital advertisements.

    Modeling approach:

    Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights). Next, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, internet users, and digital consumer spending. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. For example, 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 some cases, the data is updated on an ad-hoc basis (e.g., when new relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
