Analyst Opinion

The Audio Advertising market in North America has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
One of the main reasons for the growth of the Audio Advertising market in North America is the increasing popularity of audio streaming platforms. With the rise of smartphones and the availability of high-speed internet, consumers are increasingly turning to streaming services for their audio entertainment. This shift in consumer behavior has created new opportunities for advertisers to reach their target audience through audio advertisements. Additionally, the rise of smart speakers and voice-activated devices has further fueled the demand for audio advertising, as these devices often play audio ads as part of their user experience.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Audio Advertising market in North America is the shift towards programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows advertisers to automate the buying and selling of ad inventory, making it more efficient and cost-effective. This trend is particularly prevalent in the digital audio advertising space, where programmatic platforms enable advertisers to target specific audiences based on their demographics, interests, and behavior. This targeted approach allows advertisers to reach their desired audience more effectively and maximize the impact of their advertising campaigns. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of podcast advertising. Podcasts have become a popular form of entertainment, and advertisers are recognizing the potential of reaching engaged and loyal audiences through this medium. Podcast advertising offers a unique opportunity for brands to integrate their message seamlessly into the content, creating a more authentic and engaging experience for listeners. As a result, more advertisers are allocating their advertising budgets towards podcast advertising, driving the growth of the Audio Advertising market in North America.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on audio advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers traditional radio advertising (broadcasting programs on terrestrial radio stations or networks) and digital audio advertising (pre- and in-stream audio ads and podcast streaming ads).

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, web traffic, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, internet users, consumer spending, and digital consumer spending.

Forecasts:

We use a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the market. For instance, the S-curve function is well suited to forecast digital products due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption, whereas exponential trend smoothing (ETS) is more suited for projecting steady growth in traditional advertising markets.

Additional notes:

Data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change.
