  • Argentina accounts for 64%, being the fastest digital growing ad market globally.
  • Digital ad spending is set to grow by 5.2% annually through 2027.

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in people staying at home or working remotely, thus increasing online traffic. That spike in online traffic provided opportunities for companies to keep their target audience engaged through digital marketing initiatives. The adoption of those initiatives varied among countries, with some adopting them more aggressively.

BanklessTimes has presented data showing the global dominance of the digital ad market space. It concludes that Argentina has the fastest-growing market globally. The nation’s 64% growth rate in the area keeps with the projection that Latin America will dominate the space past 2025. Analysts project that the state’s digital ad spending will be about $356.7M by the end of 2022.

BanklessTimes’ CEO says,

The ranking comes as no surprise to those who have been following the trends in Argentina’s entertainment and media industries over the past few years. As we’ve seen in other countries, internet access is by far the largest segment in Argentinian entertainment and media. There are over 35 million internet users in Argentina alone—and it’s only getting bigger.
