Nearly 50% of all programmatic OTT and CTV
advertising goes to Roku devices, dwarfing other device makers, according to a third-quarter 2020 survey from ad-technology company Pixalate.
Roku’s share of advertising is tops,
leading OTT and CTV devices, with Amazon at a 9% share; Samsung, 6%; Apple, 5%; Vizio, 4%; Google and Chromecast, 2%. LG, Sony, and Microsoft each have a 1% share.
But
competitors are making gains: Looking at the first quarter of this year through the third quarter, Apple’s share of programmatic ads grew 175%; Vizio, up 57%; and Samsung, 55% higher. Overall,
Roku lost 4% share, and Amazon, down 37%.
At the same time, the research says there was a 64% gain in programming advertising share for Roku for “premium” services
in the third quarter compared to the first.
MoffettNathanson Research estimates total advertising on Roku will be $646 million this year.
Pixalate says
overall there was a 70% rise in OTT and CTV advertising from the first quarter of this year through the third quarter. Industry estimates are that OTT/CTV advertising could reach between $5 billion
and $8 billion this year.
Research also says programmatic OTT and CTV ad-fraud traffic was at 21% in the third quarter, 18% in the second quarter and 21.6% in the first
quarter.
