LONDON, Wednesday: Global advetising spend is on course to rise by 8.3% – or $ US67.3bn – to $ 880.9bn this year, lifted by a positive first half for holding companies and a boost from cyclical events in the second half, most notably the US midterm elections and the men’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar this November.
The predictions were today published in WARC’s Ad Spend Outlook 2022/23: Impacts of The Economic Slowdown.
The latest forecast is based on data from 100 markets worldwide.
“WARC has downgraded its expectations for global ad market growth for this year and next.”
