The latest version of the twice-yearly report showed that display and video inventory handled by programmatic methods in the 41 countries surveyed will reach $14.2bn globally in 2015, up 49% since last year, with a predicted annual growth of 31% over the next four years.

Opportunities like reduction in transaction costs, monetising a wide variety of digital media impressions, and leveraging consumer data at scale are credited as the main drivers of growth.

The US, which currently represents over half of the global programmatic market, is leading the adoption with $7.7bn worth of transactions, representing 43% total display and video dollars, this year, increasing to 62% in 2019.

The report shows that, by format, programmatic is still dominated by display and with regards to device, programmatic is still led by desktop formats. Real time programmatic will represent 81% of total programmatic spend this year.

“Programmatic technologies are reshaping the way digital media inventory is bought and sold,” a statement from Magma Global read. “While other markets are lagging behind the adoption curve, the programmatic phenomenon is global and irreversible.”
