The global digital video advertising market size was valued at USD 18.6 billion in 2020 and looks set to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.0% from 2021 to 2027. Technological advancements and changing consumer behavior have propagated advertisers to adopt innovative ways of digital video advertising. 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.


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.

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 for digital video advertising 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.
