100 Most Important Advertising Statistics for 2022

The volume of the advertising industry market is about half a trillion dollars. Digital activities of companies are constantly developing, improving and changing, and new trends, technologies and strategies are emerging. A simple analysis of data and statistics will help you stay abreast of all changes. This knowledge is necessary for every marketer and business owner to form effective business development strategies.

For hundreds of years, the advertising industry has been constantly developing in order to become one of the driving forces of the modern economy in 2022. Thanks to technology, new opportunities and augmented reality, advertisers have managed to create hundreds of incredible advertising campaigns and bring thousands of businesses to a new level of development.

To create a marketing strategy, you need to have the necessary statistical data. For decades, businesses have already generated hundreds of gigabytes of data about the results of any activities, so not taking them into account is rather imprudent.

Why should a business analyze statistical data?

To improve the digital marketing strategy of a business, it is necessary to determine the starting point. Marketers call it "zero point" - that is, all the results that the company has on the current day and under the current state of affairs. Any activity should be analyzed and affect the progress and implementation of future advertising campaigns. Statistical data will help you evaluate the performance in your industry and discover new opportunities for development.

As the world moves more and more online, social networks and their advertising remain an essential part of the modern Internet user's life. Brands simply need to be where their target audience spends their time. The nature of interaction with social media is changing with the development of applications and platforms.

If a marketer uses up-to-date data, he can easily scale the results of any advertising activity. Agree, a campaign that has at its disposal the research of already carried out activities can guarantee results and save advertising budgets. Therefore, the following are only statistics that will change your perception of the world of advertising activities.

Basic statistical data by advertising categories

2020 marked the beginning of the era of video content and native useful content for Internet users. Two years later, in 2022, we continue to see the active development of these areas, highlighting the changes that have taken place in almost all social networks, including the main ones — Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Video and content of websites, pages in social networks and advertising integrations have become a powerful tool for brands, which aims not only to sell, but also to build long-term relationships with a loyal audience.

To help marketers be on trend with new trends, we have collected statistics that demonstrate the impact of advertising tools on the dynamics of company development.
