Since then, outdoor ad spending has been declining, with projections to total 146 million U.S. dollars in 2015.
Television is the fourth most popular medium in Saudi Arabia in terms of advertising.

Saudi Arabia has the highest screen media advertising receptivity in the world, 52 percent as of March 2014, showing potential for further development of TV advertisement in the country.
