Download PPT 17.09.2008AdEx Report 2007In 2007 the European online advertising market was worth €11 billion, up €4 billion from €7.2 billion in 2006. With a like-for-like growth rate of 40%, the European online advertising market continues to amaze us with its expansion as traditional advertising remains static or for some media, even experiences a decline.
Much of this growth comes from smaller countries where market values are enjoying significant increases, but that is not the whole picture. In the mature countries more companies are moving their advertising budgets online for the first time, thereby adding to the expansion. There’s a wider range of advertisers online than ever before in Europe.
