Internet advertising revenue will remain upbeat with an estimated size of US$117.5 billion by 2025 and 10.1 percent of annual growth rate.
The rapid development of 5G and Internet of Things has propelled the growth of internet advertising, and mobile spending is set to dominate 66 percent of total Internet advertising size.
The over-the-top video market is set to enjoy annual average growth of 11.9 percent and would reach US$17.3 billion by 2025, with a range of media outlets expanding their breadth and increasing the richness of their content to attract viewers. The growing popularity of virtual reality and smart home technologies is also creating a more solid foundation for digital marketing, according to the report.
