Video entertainment ad spending, which has been
accelerating faster than most categories thanks to the aggressive introduction of new over-the-top and streaming video services in recent years, will decline this year and will remain flat next year
before rebounding again in 2022, according to new estimates being released today by Publicis Media's Zenith unit.
But while video entertainment ad spending will fall 0.2% this year in the 10 key markets representing more than half of worldwide ad spending analyzed in Zenith's "Video Entertainment Report," it will nonetheless perform significantly better than the 8.9% decline in overall ad spending projected for those markets this year.
In the analysis, Zenith defines "video entertainment" as "long-form video content, supplied either by conventional television or online, including free TV, pay-TV and online video-on-demand platforms."

“Consumers are currently benefiting from a generous supply of video content from brands vying for their loyalty,” Zenith Head of Forecasting Jonathan Barnard notes, adding: “This competition is providing a large boost to video entertainment ad spend this year. But this level of investment in both content and advertising will prove difficult to sustain for the longterm, and we forecast very little growth in 2021 and 2022.”
While the category is projected to remain flat in 2020 and expand modestly in 2021, Zenith projects the U.S. will remain the "only market where video entertainment ad spend" continues to decline.
Very interesting Joe.
How does this article reconcile with today's article by Larissa Faw's "Pandemic-Driven Demand Bolsters Video Entertainment Ad Spend".
The lede seems to be based on "Video entertainment advertising will shrink by just 0.2% in 2020 across ten key markets this year, outperforming the 8.7% drop for the ad market as a whole, according to new research from Zenith.", also reported in yiur story.
Both refer to 'video entertainment' forecasty to be down annually by just -0.2% c.f. total ad market down by -9.1%.
I fail to see how -0.2% is a "Crash".
@John Grono: For one of the fastest growing ad categories in recent years to be down or flat this by year and next, I'd call a crash. But we clearly have different views on the meaning of that word.
Even by an anticipated 2022 overall ad recovery, the category will trail general ad growth 3-to-1.
