Notes: Global ad spending will grow by 4.9% next year and by 5.6% in 2016 before slowing slightly to a 5.2% rise in 2017, details ZenithOptimedia in its latest forecast. As expected, mobile will be the prime contributor of ad spending growth, as mobile ad spend will increase by an average of 38% each year during the forecast period. By 2017, mobile is predicted to account for 11.2% share of total spend, more than double this year’s estimated 5% share.
