The UK programmatic video advertising market was worth €135m in 2015 and is expected to be worth more than €600m by 2020 with the proportion of video advertising traded programmatically expected to almost triple from 23 per cent in 2015 to 60 per cent by 2020.

The Austrian market is predicted to grow from €2m in 2015 to €19m in 2020 and Switzerland will grow from €3m in 2015 to €22m in 2020, revealing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) across the DACH region of 53 per cent.

In France , the infographic sizes the market at €67m - where 19 per cent of video advertising is traded programmatically - and highlights expected growth to €358m in 2020 more than half of which (54 per cent) will be traded programmatically. The infographic charts the growth of programmatic video in Italy from €6m in 2013 to €38m in 2015 to a predicted size of €245m in 2020, a compound annual growth rate of 45 per cent. 12 per cent of online video advertising in Italy was traded programmatically in 2015 and it is predicted to grow to 47 per cent. The Spanish will also trade 47 per cent of online video advertising programmatically in 2020, by which point the market is expected to be worth €98m, up from €4m in 2013 and €15m in 2015.

Mike Shehan, CEO of SpotX explains, “The data shows the dramatic rise of video advertising across Europe, which has been reflected in our own growth across Europe with rising revenues every year. We introduced video real time bidding in 2010, and now have established offices in London, Hamburg and Amsterdam contributing to the global growth of SpotX. The UK, France and the Netherlands are leading the adoption of programmatic online video in Europe, followed by a sizeable and important market in Germany, as well as emerging markets with high potential including the Nordics, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Austria.”

Daniel Knapp, Senior Director of Advertising Research at IHS, adds, “This infographic illustrates the research we conducted showing how programmatic online video advertising has exploded across Europe from experimentation in 2013 to ubiquity by 2015. Publishers and broadcasters have embraced a programmatic mindset. They are innovating with video content and exploring different programmatic video advertising strategies including acquisitions and partnerships as well as building in-house capabilities to drive revenue growth.”
