Market Dynamics
The global digital out-of-home (OOH) advertising market is majorly driven by a distinct shift in media towards digital technology and adopting the latest technologies and devices. Advancements in technologies such as the arrival of mobile-based digital networks are expected to bring exponential growth opportunities for the DOOH advertising market. Besides, the arrival of personalized DOOH advertising is expected to emerge as a key trend that will uplift the global market of DOOH advertising in the forecast period.
A distinct shift in media towards digital technology and adoption of the latest technologies and devices
The rise of digital solutions turns conventional outdoor advertising, historically lethargic, into a highly potent development area. Digital innovations are 3 times more impactful than static billboards, such as digital billboards. Furthermore, emerging technologies have rich data and strategic insights that can be used to optimize real-time OOH ads, coupled with interactive ads compared to static messaging. A major benefit of the use of digital technologies in outdoor ads is that considering the increasingly expanding consumer base, relevance and engagement levels are provided at a comparatively lower cost per touch; thus, the factor mentioned above are the potential drivers responsible for building the future market of DOOH advertising.
For example, in July 2018, Lamar Advertising Company announced its partnership with Wieden-Kennedy, OMA, Clear Channel Outdoor and Wow Media, intending to launch a Los Angeles International Airport digital-out-of-home campaign. The partnership aims to display digital billboards in the campaign using dynamic data from real-time flights to the passengers leaving the airport.
Advancements in technologies such as the arrival of the mobile-based digital network and low manufacturing cost are expected to bring exponential growth opportunities for the DOOH advertising market.
DOOH advertising is creating standards to transform the face of outdoor advertising as digital displays are replacing traditional print advertising in many places such as shopping malls, railway stations, airports, bus stations and others. The primary factor of the growing market of DOOH in recent times is that producing LED and LCD screen in present times is significantly lower than past, thus leading to the proliferation of the digital display market in recent times. In addition, as mobile devices are rapidly dominating access to the online world, the incorporation of DOOH with mobile is expected to drive, impact and engage the market audience in the forecast period. In fact, a recent Neilson report notes that by linking to social media and mobile technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and QR codes, OOH is capable of driving more online interaction per ad spend than any other offline media.
For instance, in 2016, the NHS Blood Donation campaign by Ocean used advanced AR technology to link consumers' smartphones with digital displays and thus enable the public to give a virtual blood donation through an iPhone.
Limited focus requires more time for penetration into the target audience; high production and manufacturing costs for startups act as major hurdles for the DOOH advertising market's growth.
DOOH advertising offers various benefits such as large reach, market diversity, high return, brand recognition, and great startups. However, there are various disadvantages responsible for hampering the growth of the DOOH market in recent times. The primary restraint affecting the market's growth is the limited focus, which comes with limited customer control and sometimes requires more time to connect with the target audience, hence impacting the advertising market's growth. Sometimes it becomes difficult for the general audience to quantify the exact aim and purpose of the ads, thus remaining neglected for a long time. The cost associated with designing and product coupled with long-term contracts for specific locations turned out as a challenge for the startup audience hence act as a hurdle for the growth of the DOOH advertising market in the forecast period.

Market Segmentation Analysis

The partnership is done to install a 10millimeter line spacing digital billboard, coupled with two other 16millimeter billboards, thus increasing their ad holdings by 32%.
