  • Major secular trends such as mobile commerce (m-commerce) and buy now, pay later (BNPL) should help drive the market forward.
  • Digital advertising is expected to grow 9% to $719 billion, with a potential major boost from the fast- growing free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) as major players such as Netflix, Amazon, and Google introduced new content and services to draw increased consumer adoption.
