Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Retail Media

Estimate represents the broad global retail media advertiser spend (on-site and off-site) using available projections. Adtelligent projects global retail media spend at $184B in 2025 rising to $312B by 2030 (implied CAGR ~11%). Independent RMN market definitions (platform/vendor revenue) are smaller—examples: MarketResearchFuture lists ~$22.9B in 2024 with a 14.4% CAGR (2025–2035) and Oliver Wyman cites ~ $90B (ex-China) for a similar scope. Short-term estimates from eMarketer/industry outlets point to >20% annual growth in earlier years, indicating upside in the near term. Given divergent definitions, a conservative medium-term CAGR of ~12% is used (aligned with Adtelligent’s trajectory and MRFR’s mid-teens forecast).

Programmatic Media Buying

Primary estimate uses the WiseGuy report specific to "Programmatic Media Buying" (USD 63.7B in 2025; 9% CAGR to 2035). Fact.MR’s broader "media buying services" (USD 80.5B in 2025; 6.9% CAGR) and MarketResearchFuture’s wider "programmatic advertising" figure (USD 811.8B in 2024; 14.37% CAGR) provide context and bounds. WiseGuy was chosen as the closest match to the requested segment; other reports inform upside/downside scenarios.

Connected TV Advertising

Primary data points come from industry forecasts for US CTV ad spend: $37.95B in 2026 (Teads/StackAdapt citing eMarketer). StackAdapt projects growth to $52.53B by 2029 (implying ~11–12% CAGR); Teads explicitly cites a 12% CAGR for CTV advertising. Broader market context: total TV advertising grows more slowly (~4–5%), and the wider connected‑TV device market shows a lower long‑term CAGR (~9.3%).

Server-Side Ad Insertion

Synthesis of multiple search-result reports for server‑side ad insertion (SSAI). SSAI‑specific reports range from USD 1.61B (WiseGuy) to USD 4.8B (Data Insights) for mid‑2020s, with MarketIntelo at USD 3.8B. Broader dynamic‑ad‑insertion studies show larger figures (USD 7.2B in 2024) and higher CAGRs. Prioritizing SSAI‑focused sources and reconciling variance yields a conservative 2025 market size estimate of about $4.0B and a mid‑teens growth potential of ~13.5% CAGR.
