Global TV ad spending on linear TV -- real time and delayed viewing -- inched up 1% in 2018, estimated to be $140 billion, according to WARC, a U.K.-based media research company.
Looking at 12
key markets -- Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, UK and the U.S. -- linear TV has a 41.9% share of all worldwide advertising.
Other estimates show the
U.S. would represent about half of global linear TV advertising spending this year -- around $70 billion.
Globally, addressable TV advertising continues to see rapid growth -- now at $1
billion worldwide this year -- a 0.7% share of the total linear TV advertising market. It predicts that by 2022, addressable advertising's share will be 10%.
It estimates that 71% of TV
advertising spend is responsible for “long-term advertising-generated profit.”
The research company also says worldwide mobile internet advertising is in second place, at $58
billion.
Media agency strategic unit Magna estimates U.S. national TV will be up 1% this year; taking out cyclical business (political and Winter Olympics), it's down 1%.
Local TV
looks to grow 9% this year -- but down 4.5% when eliminating political advertising.
