There is a growing trend amongst individuals to adopt visual media via platforms other than traditional cable and satellite TVs. Non-conventional platforms, such as desktops, mobile phones, Over The Top (OTT) media platforms, and social media applications are enabling advertisers to enhance their service delivery methodologies to offer new revenue channels for marketers and broadcasters. Furthermore, these digital video contents are programmed to run on various platforms and in several formats to ensure maximum reach, thus enabling a better engagement rate.

Digital Video Advertising Market size, by type

The development of new methods such as vertical filming and 360° digital videos has given rise to significant opportunities for the growth of the market for digital video advertising. These modern techniques of videography offer a different perception of the subject being advertised, as compared to traditional methods, thus attracting new customers. Furthermore, these methods provide advertisers the ability to conceptualize and create more successful advertising campaigns, thus promoting brands to leverage digital video advertising methods. Advancements in video filming technology have also led to newer and better-recording equipment, which enables videographers to capture high quality and detailed videos of smaller durations, which are more effective in delivering brands’ messages to audiences.

Emerging adoption of connected TVs amongst individuals is promoting brands and marketers to adopt digital video advertising methodologies. The provision to access an individual’s social media accounts, analyze viewing trends, and effective search engine optimization, enables brands and marketers to offer relevant advertisements to people. Connected TV supports the transmission of highly personalized, targeted, and HD-quality ads, which boost brand exposure and promotes brand loyalty. Furthermore, the ongoing trend amongst people to avoid skipping on ads on TVs enables marketers to portray brand messages more effectively, thus offering an impetus to market growth.

The growing usage of OTT platforms by several individuals worldwide has offered advertisers the opportunity to penetrate the market more efficiently. The availability of high-speed internet at affordable prices and incrementing demand of users to access subscription-free distribution of content is providing marketers higher chances to enhance reach and facilitate efficient revenue generation. The ability to practice different types of advertising, such as pre, mid, and post-roll advertising and the provision of not skipping ads by closing ad windows, offers higher chances to brands and agencies to put forward their message to audiences. Moreover, in-banner digital video ads and companion ads also allow marketers to take forward their marketing campaigns while ensuring that viewers’ viewing experience is not hampered, which promises continued growth opportunities.

Digital Video Advertising Market Trends

The pandemic caused lockdowns and work from home situations. People were unable to leave their homes which drove the online advertising industry. People got more interested in online portals and social networking sites, resulting a growth in the utilization of the internet and the amount of digital content consumed by people. Many firms are now seeking to transfer their advertising to digital platforms as most end consumers already operate online. Moreover, higher technical improvements and increased digital spending are likely to drive the online advertising market growth during the forecast period.

The high costs of digital video advertising have been one of the major hindrances to its growth. As a result of the rise in the use of social media and digital content, advertisements have increased dramatically in recent years. Small businesses are experiencing delayed demand  as the cost of digital video commercials is greatly dependent on the quality of the content, the volume of traffic necessary, and other criteria.. Furthermore, to reach a bigger audience, digital advertising on some of the most popular and largest channels, such as YouTube, Facebook, and others require heavy investments. This is anticipated to hamper the market growth.

Owing to the advertisement campaigns on e-commerce sites, the introduction of digital video advertising aids in the promotion and sales of businesses. Furthermore, huge emerging e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Flipkart, and others have been generating significant revenues through online advertising on gaming platforms, television, social networking platforms, and others, thus, allowing them to sell their products more efficiently. High quality digital video content presentation aids in driving investments in e-commerce products that are featured on many platforms by drawing consumers' attention in short time intervals. This is boosting the demand for video advertising among businesses and is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
