The Ad Spend Outlook 2022/23: Impacts of the Economic Slowdown

Global ad spend is projected to grow by 8.3% this year to a total of $881bn, continuing the market's post-Covid recovery. But what about 2023?

We can already see economies stalling as inflation rises sharply due to supply-side pressures, exacerbated by war in Europe and a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing. This is squeezing consumers' disposable income, which is impacting numerous sectors.  

As a result, ad market growth will slow down significantly and WARC has downgraded its investment forecasts, removing $90bn of growth potential from global ad trade this year and next.
