Programmatic digital video ads

A programmatic advertising platform is used to identify online users and consumers quickly and effectively. Such a platform gives buyers and sellers more information to form strategies around. Expenditures on programmatically traded digital video ads in the United States have also been growing steadily over the past few years, reaching nearly 24 billion U.S. dollars in 2018. Spending on this type of advertising is projected to reach about 40 billion U.S. dollars in 2021.

Digital ad fraud

Digital advertising fraud is expected to increase significantly over the coming years. Between 2018 and 2022, costs relating to digital ad fraud were projected to double, reaching roughly 44 billion U.S. dollars worldwide by the end of 2022. In the second quarter of 2019, about 39 percent of ad impressions served programmatically in India were fraudulent, making it the country with the highest ad fraud rate in the world during that period. During the same quarter, the United States had an ad fraud rate of 19 percent.
