Dublin, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Cloud Advertising Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2021-2031” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Global Cloud Advertising Market is projected to experience substantial growth, rising from USD 4.97 Billion in 2025 to USD 14.65 Billion by 2031, reflecting a CAGR of 19.74%.
This sector encompasses cloud-based infrastructure and software designed to streamline the management, delivery, and analysis of digital marketing campaigns.
Key drivers include the widespread adoption of programmatic advertising, which necessitates scalable computing power for real-time data processing, and the cost advantages of pay-as-you-go models over traditional on-premise hardware.
Despite this positive trajectory, the market faces significant challenges due to strict data privacy regulations that restrict consumer tracking and targeting. Highlighting the scale of this infrastructure-dependent sector, the Interactive Advertising Bureau reported that programmatic advertising revenue hit $134.8 billion in 2024, an 18.0% increase from the prior year. This growth illustrates the robust expansion of automated advertising solutions even as the industry navigates a complex regulatory landscape.
Market Drivers
The integration of Artificial Intelligence for hyper-personalized targeting is fundamentally transforming the Global Cloud Advertising Market by allowing for precise audience segmentation and real-time campaign optimization. Cloud platforms utilize advanced AI algorithms to instantly process massive consumer datasets, automating decisions to improve advertiser return on investment while supporting dynamic creative generation and predictive modeling. As noted in Meta Platforms’ Q3 2024 earnings report from October 2024, advertising revenue grew 19% year-over-year to $39.9 billion, a result the company credited to AI-driven improvements in ad efficiency and relevance, underscoring the reliance on robust cloud computing for modern marketing strategies.
Simultaneously, the market is driven by accelerated digital transformation and the shift to cloud infrastructures, which support scalable and cost-effective SaaS advertising solutions. As enterprises move away from rigid on-premise systems, they are adopting cloud-native platforms that provide the elasticity needed for fluctuating ad inventories and heavy global traffic.
This migration is highlighted by Amazon’s financial results from October 2024, showing a 19% year-over-year increase in advertising services revenue to $14.3 billion. Additionally, GroupM forecast in December 2024 that global advertising revenue would grow 9.5% to $1.04 trillion, primarily fueled by the expansion of digital and cloud-enabled channels.
Market Challenges
Stringent data privacy laws present a major obstacle to the Global Cloud Advertising Market by dismantling the data infrastructure required for programmatic efficiency. While cloud platforms depend on granular user data for real-time bidding and precise targeting, evolving regulations and the removal of third-party identifiers have severed the connection between advertisers and consumer signals. This loss of signal forces data into isolated silos, making it increasingly difficult for cloud-based software to provide accurate analysis or attribution.
Consequently, this fragmentation lowers return on investment for advertisers, leading to hesitation in scaling spend on cloud-dependent tools. The World Federation of Advertisers reported in 2025 that 86% of industry respondents identified data silos, often caused by privacy barriers, as a significant hurdle to effective cross-media measurement. When advertisers are unable to verify performance across these isolated environments, the demand for high-volume, automated cloud solutions is suppressed, ultimately slowing the overall market expansion.
Market Trends
The market is undergoing significant change as programmatic buying expands into Connected TV (CTV) and Audio, prompting advertisers to shift budgets from traditional linear television to cloud-managed digital video platforms. This move allows marketers to harness cloud infrastructure for real-time bidding on premium inventory, merging television’s scale with digital targeting precision while managing high-bandwidth data streams. The sector’s momentum is evident in the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s ‘2024 Digital Video Ad Spend & Strategy Report’ from July 2024, which projected CTV ad spend to increase by 12% to nearly $23 billion in 2024, surpassing total media growth rates.
In parallel, the surge of Retail Media Networks (RMNs) is driving market expansion through the implementation of interoperable cloud architectures. Retailers are converting into digital advertising platforms by leveraging cloud-native software to securely activate vast first-party transaction data for external advertisers, closing the loop between ad exposure and sales. This model’s success is demonstrated by Walmart’s November 2024 ‘Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Earnings Release,’ which reported a 28% year-over-year increase in global advertising business, confirming the high demand for data-rich, cloud-enabled advertising ecosystems.
