TV advertising worldwide - statistics & facts
Television changed the world; now technology is changing television. After a pandemic-related decrease in ad spending in 2020, global television ad spending has since returned to growth over the first half of the 2020s but has not succeeded in going back to its pre-pandemic figures. Consequently, TV’s share of global ad spending has been decreasing year-after-year. TV’s global deceleration is mostly attributable to a slowdown in linear TV investments, while spending on digital TV is showing no signs of slowing down. Connected TV (CTV) ad revenue worldwide is expected to almost double between 2023 and 2026, as more and more viewers ditch traditional TV in favor of devices connected to the internet.
