IAB Europe, the leading European-level industry association for the digital advertising and marketing ecosystem, announced at its flagship conference Interact 2022 today (25th May 2022) that digital advertising grew 30.5% in 2021 to €92b (£78.38b). This exponential growth shows that the digital advertising market has truly bounced back from the challenges and impact of COVID-19.
Now in its sixth year, The AdEx Benchmark study is the definitive guide to advertising expenditure in Europe, covering 28 markets. In 2021, all markets experienced double-digit year-on-year growth. Turkey was the most dynamic market posting an exceptional growth of 99.7%. In 2021, no markets experienced a decline in digital advertising.
The study shows that audio saw the largest growth in 2021 at 51.3%. Whilst the audio market still remains small, it represents positive growth. Video also grew by an impressive 46.2% to €18.5b (£15.76b). Meanwhile display grew by 34.5% to €45.6b (£38.84b), with search experiencing a 29.9% increase to €39.5b (£33.65).
