The rapidly expanding viewer pool of live/linear and video-on-demand (VOD) content such as sports and special events has spawned a large market for seamless ad delivery (dynamic ad insertion (DAI)) that is consistent across devices and platforms. Cloud-powered server-side ad insertion (SSAI) will emerge the dominant technology as it meets stringent monetization and user experience demands.
“While ad insertion technologies are finding high uptake among advertisers, ad blockers also are becoming common on both desktop and mobile platforms. This is resulting in lower completion rates and lost revenue opportunities,” noted Vanchesan. “Besides, as the competition continues to intensify, there will be a need to prioritize market education and awareness initiatives to communicate vendors’ competitive strengths in capabilities.”
