Tech giants eat ad industry dollars for breakfast

This year, two-thirds of all global ad dollars will go to the Big Five: Google, Facebook, Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba, according to the latest PriceWaterhouseCoopers Entertainment and Media Global Outlook.

 And according to eMarketer forecasts, Google and Facebook will account for almost 50% of advertisers’ total global digital ad spending in 2017, and China’s Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu will capture approximately 15%.

That’s five companies harvesting 65% of total global digital advertising revenues!

This concentration is forcing digital and traditional publishers to rethink how content is distributed, consumed, and monetized over third-party platforms, and to pursue new types of partnerships and business models as a result.

Key Highlights:

• Roughly 50% percent of ad dollars flow to to Google and Facebook, America’s “Duopoly.” Together they are expected to take 83% of every new ad dollar, according to calculations from Digital
Content Next, the premium publishers association.

• The 12 companies behind the Big Five — Yahoo! Microsoft, Linkedin, IAC, Verizon, Amazon, Pandora, Twitter, Yelp, Snapchat, Sina and Sohu — bring in roughly half of what
Google brings in annually in ad revenue.
