The UK remains Europe's largest digital ad market and is a hotspot for online advertising growth. Major sporting events have aided revenue generated from TV advertising. However, the economic slump caused by the COVID-19 outbreak forced businesses to become more cautious when considering marketing budgets, weighing on demand. Over the five years through 2024, advertising services revenue is expected to drop at a compound annual rate of 4.1% to €219.8 billion.
