Overview of the global mobile ad spending market
Research analysts at Technavio predict steady growth in the global mobile ad spending market and estimate that the market will post an impressive CAGR of around 10% by 2020. One of the major factors fostering growth in the mobile ad spending market will be the rapid growth in social media. Social media acts as a larger platform for advertisers and companies to promote and interact with customers online. Customers’ interests, feedback, and rating will be easily analyzed with the help of social media. Users share posts and updates available on the brand’s homepage, creating more interaction and awareness. These tactics will help companies to create a market presence for their products with a larger customer base. Some research results show that approximately 50% of the customers buy mobile phones after acquiring brand information from social media in developed countries. Social media has helped companies to gain a larger customer base and brand loyalty, and this trend will continue to aid in the growth of the mobile ad spending market during the forecast.
The recent trend in the mobile ad spending market is the adoption of virtual reality (VR) techniques to promote brands. VR techniques create a new experience for the customer and help spread awareness of various aspects of the product. Major airlines like Qantas partnered with Samsung to create VRtechniques for in-flight viewing to promote tourism. At present, it has been observed that VR is not just restricted to video gaming anymore; for instance, Facebook has started endorsing 360-degree video ads for better customer experiences.

The analyst estimates the level of competition to be fairly high during the forecast period.
