Global digital ad spend to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, report

The global AdTech market is entering a period of accelerated growth, according to a new report from The Insight Partners, fueled by surging digital ad spend, AI-driven targeting, and the expansion of programmatic and connected TV advertising.

Global digital ad spend is projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, with brands shifting budgets to more sophisticated, data-led platforms. The report cites the rise of first-party data strategies, contextual targeting, and privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA as major factors influencing investment.

Connected TV and OTT streaming have emerged as powerful channels, offering advertisers data-rich environments for highly targeted video campaigns. The report also notes strong adoption of retail media networks, audio advertising, and cloud-based AdTech solutions.

In 2024, North America led market share, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. Large enterprises, cloud deployments, and programmatic advertising dominated their respective segments. Key players include Adobe, Amazon, Criteo, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Verizon.

The report concludes that with AI, machine learning, and real-time data processing becoming core to campaign performance, AdTech will play a pivotal role in the future of marketing—delivering measurable impact for brands and more relevant experiences for consumers.
