Targeted TV Ad Spend Continues to Grow, Reaching $1.26 Billion This Year

Programmatic is also on the rise, according to new eMarketer data

While still a small portion of overall TV ad spending, addressable (or targeted) ads are growing at a fast rate.

Targeted TV ad spend is predicted to grow by 65.8 percent to reach $1.26 billion this year. Typically, these types of ads are targeted by a TV viewer’s age and gender.

Currently, 75 percent of U.S. households have cable or satellite boxes capable of delivering these kinds of ads; this means only 1.7 percent of the total TV ad expenditures come from targeted ads in 2017.

“Addressable TV is a seller’s market,” said eMarketer forecasting analyst Oscar Orozco.
