Public cloud advertising services are owned by third-party service providers. The different cloud advertising services include business process as a service (BPaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). The different cloud advertising user groups include small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. The end-users of cloud advertising include retail, media and entertainment, IT and telecom, BFSI, government and other end-users.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The cloud advertising market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $85.93 billion in 2024 to $92.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%.

The cloud advertising market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $158.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%.

Major trends in the forecast period include video advertising dominance, native advertising evolution, voice search optimization, 5g technology impact, sustainability in advertising.

The forecast of 14.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Cloud advertising platforms could be constrained as tariffs on digital ad delivery infrastructure such as content delivery networks and edge computing servers result in higher ad campaign execution costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rapid increase in the number of internet users is significantly driving the growth of the cloud advertising market. The internet is a global network of connected computers that facilitates information sharing, communication, and access to data resources through an internet connection. Cloud advertising involves cloud-based online display of advertising campaigns across the internet and social media platforms. Consequently, the rising number of internet users is fostering greater customer engagement with cloud advertising platforms. For instance, in June 2024, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a U.S. government agency, reported that in 2023, the number of internet users in the U.S. rose by 13 million compared to 2021. Therefore, the rapid growth in internet users is contributing to the expansion of the cloud advertising market.

The rising adoption of cloud computing will propel the growth of the cloud advertising market. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services, including storage, processing, and networking, over the Internet, offering on-demand resources and scalability. Cloud computing is used as an essential component in cloud advertising because it offers the agility, flexibility, and processing power required to manage large volumes of ad data, optimize ad campaigns, and deliver relevant ads to users worldwide. For instance, in June 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency for statistics, in Australia, 85% of firms reported employing information and communication technologies (ICTs) for the year ended June 30, 2022, up from 69% of enterprises during the year ended June 30, 2020, out of which 59% of these were related to cloud computing. Therefore, the rising adoption of cloud computing will contribute to the growth of the cloud advertising market.
