eMarketer forecasts that US B2Bs will spend $8.14 billion on digital ads this year, up 22.6% from 2019 when spending was $6.64 billion.
B2B digital ad spending growth in recent years has outstripped digital ad spending growth overall, with a CAGR from 2016 through 2019 of 24.7%, vs. 22.6% for all US digital advertising.
They estimate that growth in B2B digital ad spending peaked in 2018 at 27.5%, falling almost 6 percentage points last year.
But due to the pandemic and the unique conditions for B2B marketers who are rapidly shifting spending from in-person events, growth will reaccelerate this year by 22.6%. Read the rest at eMarketer.
