In-App Advertising Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The growing adoption of smartphones and tablets is propelling the in-app advertising market. Smartphones are versatile mobile devices extending beyond basic calls and texts. A tablet is a portable device featuring a touchscreen interface, typically larger than a smartphone. The rising prevalence of smartphones and tablets leads to greater engagement with mobile applications, which serve as platforms for in-app advertisements. Through in-app mobile advertising, publishers create advertisements that are highly specific and tailored, boosting the chances of audience interest and engagement (clicks). For example, data from April 2023, provided by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a Switzerland-based United Nations specialised agency for information and communication technologies, revealed over 8.58 billion mobile subscriptions globally in 2022, increasing to 8.9 billion in 2023 against a global population of 7.95 billion midway through the year. Consequently, the widespread availability of mobile devices and network access is fueling the expansion of the field service management market.
