ONLINE ADS IN 2010
The global recession in 2009 affected the online ad market as it did pretty much every other industry in all geographies. Despite a sharp turn in global trade and many markets seeing revenue diminish by 20%, 30% and even 40% the online ad market grew by a modest 0.7% during 2009.
According to Samsung Securities the online ad market as a whole is expected to expand by 18.3% throughout 2010 driven by increased ad budgets and improved consumer sentiment. The market can widely be divided into two markets, the display ad market and the search ad market each expected to grow 16.9% and 19% respectively. Aside from accelerated spending in 2010 by advertisers new advertising products, such as video streaming overlaid with targeted ads or micro blogging ads are seen as key drivers for the ads market. 2010 and beyond will see a strengthening in the market due to an increase in global internet users resulting in a further shift away from traditional media and towards digital. In turn traditional media outlets will continue to shift towards digital with ever growing pace as it sees it advertising revenues dwindle.
