Statista’s Advertising & Media Outlook projects that marketers should anticipate digital audio ad spending to surpass $6.76 billion by 2023 and $7.89 billion in 2025. According to these figures, digital audio ad expenditure would account for more than 36% (in 2023) and 40% (in 2025) of total radio and digital audio ad spending and they have the potential to rise as programmatic advertisements become more easily integrated into podcasts and other forms of streaming audio.
