Businesses have been using advertisements to promote their offerings since the early days of newspapers. But now, this has grown into a much more complex and higher revenue-generating marketing tactic. Today, showing ads alone does not guarantee a brand's success.
In today’s competitive world, where companies are spending millions of dollars to maintain/increase their market share, one needs to strategically place an ad in front of the right target group at the right time. The term 'media buying' can help companies achieve the optimal outcome of the ads.
The correct media buying agency can help enterprises define and implement the best strategies to achieve amazing results in the shortest amount of time. Media buying helps buy advertising space on desired media channels. These media channels include television, print, newspapers, radio, and mobile apps, among others.
Most companies use programmatic advertising in their media buying strategies as they can leverage technology to automate the entire process. This means that now, companies have more accurate data that provides target customer segmentation, buyer demographics, and insights into the buying behaviors of the target audience.
From 2017 to 2021, the media buying services market registered a CAGR of 5.5%, according to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider. Projections are that the market will expand rapidly at 6.2% CAGR between 2022 and 2032.
Market share analysis of media buying services based on channel and region. Under the channel segment, social media advertising dominates with 19% market share in 2022.
“Surge in Number of New Direct to Consumer Brands”
The pandemic has changed the perspective of owning a business forever. During the pandemic, thousands of people across the world lost their jobs and had no opportunities available even when they were ready to accept lower pay. This saw a rise in the number of business getting started.
Direct-to-consumer brands have experienced rapid growth during the pandemic, with changes in consumer buying patterns and online channel behavior playing a central role. However, the success of these brands has led to stiff competition from established companies and new market entrants.
The above-mentioned factors have led to increased demand for media buying companies as organizations want to differentiate themselves from their competitors. With the help of media buying agencies, companies are now targeting audiences with more sophisticated and customized advertisements through the right media channel and at the appropriate time.
“Programmatic Advertising is the Future of Media Buying”
Media buying trends are moving from traditional channels to over-the-top media (OTT) and connected television (CTV), and future programmatic ad buying will become the most popular channel for media buyers. Programmatic advertising is the process of buying online advertising impressions automatically. The platform relies on complex interfaces and algorithms to aggregate, book, evaluate, analyze, and optimize advertising campaigns.
The constant change and innovation in the advertising industry can be difficult to keep up with; however, these changes bring new opportunities and better performance prospects. Programmatic advertising has skyrocketed in recent years and continues to do so. Perhaps, most areas of media buying will be completely programmatically dominated over the coming years.

“Ever-Evolving Technology and Complex Market Conditions”
From artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things, the tech industry is undergoing a digital transformation and is growing at breakneck speed. This is the era of digital disruption. And just like technology changes, the needs of the target market are also changing.
Companies need to constantly update their service offerings to remain relevant in today’s competitive world. Enterprises’ expectations from media agencies are also changing with the ever-evolving market scenario. Now, companies want real-time data of their running advertisements with all the minute details of the audience, such as geography, race, age, and gender, among others.
The tech industry is constantly evolving, and if agencies don't adapt to these changes, they won't be able to grow and keep up with the competition.
Post-COVID, the U.S. government has taken several steps to improve the economic conditions in the country. Businesses across sectors have started reporting positive numbers in their annual fillings. Many new businesses are also coming with new or improved versions of existing products.
A majority of these companies are funded by private equity and venture capital organizations. Several companies are getting into a similar sector with a very limited product offering. This has led to the tremendous demand for advertisement and has ultimately increased the demand for the services of media buying agencies.
Corporates are trying to differentiate themselves from their competitors by targeting customers by advertising their products on different channels at different times. Media buying agencies are capitalizing on the increased demand for their services with the help of technology and by offering bundled services to clients.
The U.S. media buying services market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.
There are several reasons why India will be a much bigger market than it is at present. India is a country with one of the largest mobile users armed with the cheapest mobile data in the globe. Indians are spending, on average, around 4.5 hours on their mobiles daily.
This gives a humungous opportunity for companies to market their products to their target audience. A substantial part of the mobile users in India are youngsters, who are spending hours and hours playing games on their phones. With limited spending power, youngsters prefer watching ads rather than paying for a prime subscription. Companies are capitalizing on this factor and are marketing their products to a larger audience.
Social media continues to grow in popularity and has reached over 3.7 billion users globally in 2021. People are consuming content from social media as if there is no tomorrow. The face of social media has also changed in the last 2-3 years, as people are now consuming shorter time content in comparison to lengthy content. These factors have led to the emergence of new social media platforms such as Tick-Tok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram reels, among others.
The pandemic has arguably accelerated the rise of 'unfiltered' (or unscripted) content, as well as 'everyday influencers' such as micro- and nano-influencers. People are now relating themselves more with an influencer rather than a known figure. Brands are trying to reach their target audience through these social media influencers. As social media and e-Commerce converge, more influencer partnerships will be leveraged to drive business sales.
The retail and consumer goods market is continuously adapting to evolving consumer demands and trends. New companies with superior quality products are coming into the market and are trying to eat the market share of established enterprises. The sector has become more competitive than it was ever before.
This has left consumers with endless product comparisons and questions. Consumer goods companies are improving their marketing strategies and driving brand awareness to hold on to customer loyalty in this highly competitive space.
The pandemic has changed the way consumers shop and disrupted the market significantly. Cleaning supplies, non-perishable food & beverages, and toilet paper were hard to come by in a matter of days in some areas. Retail companies are spending huge amounts on marketing to differentiate themselves from competitors and increase their market share.
