eMarketer estimated that U.S. digital video advertising will total $7.77 billion in 2015, up 30.4 percent from 2014, with 20 percent of those dollars going to YouTube, and the researcher also cited a report by Cisco Systems last June, which projected that video would account for 80 percent to 90 percent of global consumer Internet traffic by 2018.
