Video Ad Spend 2016 - 2017 (€bn)
Townsend Feehan, CEO of IAB Europe said, “The latest AdEx Benchmark Report confirms digital advertising’s role in underpinning the delivery of digital content and consumer experiences. With GDPR now a reality, the industry is at a crossroads and it must strive to improve on consumer expectations and maximise the contribution that digital advertising makes to the European economy”.
Daniel Knapp, Executive Director TMT at IHS Markit, said “Social, mobile, video and search were the growth drivers behind digital advertising in Europe in 2017. They stand for the power of connection, location, emotion and path to purchase that make digital advertising so versatile and indispensable for today’s brands.”
The report incorporates data from the following online advertising formats:
- Display
- Paid-for-search
- Classifieds and Directories
Additional segmentations are:
- Video (In-Stream and Out-Stream)
- Mobile (Display and Search)
The report treats video and mobile display as subsets of display, and mobile search as a subset of search.

Explanatory note on IAB Europe/IHS Markit AdEx Benchmark figures
Each national IAB in Europe runs its own annual online advertising spending study and the IAB Europe AdEx Benchmark figures are based on these studies. As the methodology of the studies varies country by country, IAB Europe and IHS Markit have defined methodology rules to represent the figures in such a way as to make them realistically comparable. This involves:
- Readjusting local figures to allow for harmonised representation. Readjustment rates are supplied by groups of local market experts
- Estimating/harmonising ad spend data for certain formats or segments in certain countries where local IAB studies do not include data or the definition or scope of a format is substantially different
from IAB Europe standardised segments
- Where local data is collected in a currency other than Euros, the average exchange rate in 2017 has been used to convert this to Euros. To provide data for prior year growth rates, the prior year figures have also been re-calculated using a constant exchange rate in order eliminate currency effects.
- AdEx Benchmark focuses on four normalised segments: ‘Display’ (including mobile display, rich media and video), ‘classifieds and directories’, ‘paid search’ and ‘other’ (including email but excluding email marketing).
- Figures quoted are gross figures (i.e. net invoiced value of the media, plus agency commission if any).
