This surge is fueled by the digital transformation of retail, expanded consumer data targeting, and the rise of retail media networks as key advertising channels. Strong growth between 2022 and 2025 highlights advertisers’ increasing reliance on data-driven strategies, loyalty programs, and in-platform retail ads. This momentum reflects a structural shift in how brands allocate budgets, prioritizing retail media for precision targeting and measurable ROI.
