TV advertising spend in the UK reached a new high of £5.3 billion (€6.2 billion) in the UK last year, bolstered by a 12.6% growth in video-on-demand revenue.
This is according to figures released by advertising trade body the Advertising Association/WARC, which said that TV’s share of overall ad spend in the UK has held steady at 25% over the last decade.
The Expenditure Report said that total UK advertising spend grew 3.7% to reach £21.4bn in 2016, the seventh consecutive year of market growth.
In Q4 total UK ad spend reached £5.8bn, a rise of 3.9% year-on-year and the highest grossing quarter on record, according to the study.
Digital formats continued to drive growth last year, with internet ad spend up by 13.4% to £10.3bn. Mobile spend reached £3.9bn.
“In real terms, after accounting for inflation, UK ad spend topped its pre-recession peak for the first time during both the final quarter and for 2016 as a whole. Forecasts for the next two years indicate continued growth of 2.5% in 2017 and 3.3% in 2018,” according to the report.
