Digital advertising spend will increase 24% to $54.5 billion in 2015 and will sustain average 21% annual growth through the end of the decade, according to new economic data published by MyersBizNet TomorrowToday. The total excludes search marketing, which is projected to grow 8.0% this year to $24.6 billion. The MyersBizNet total also excludes social marketing/promotional spending, which is forecast to increase 35% in 2015 to $9.2 billion, with average 24% annual growth through 2020. Including these two categories, 2015 digital media and marketing investments will total $88.3 billion.

The $54.5 digital advertising represents 30% of the total $181.0 billion that MyersBizNet projects marketers will invest in total advertising in 2015. MyersBizNet forecasts total advertising growth of 2.1% in 2015 and 9.1% growth in 2016, driven primarily by political and Olympics spending.

Digital advertising including search and social marketing represents 48% of the total advertising spend but only 15% of the total $570.5 billion in marketers' total communications investments, which include shopper marketing, trade promotion, event and direct marketing. Total legacy plus digital advertising represents 32% of all marketing communications investments. MyersBizNet forecasts digital advertising (excluding search and social marketing) in 2020 will increase to $137.5 billion, representing 52% of the total $263.5 billion marketers are projected to invest in advertising that year, the first year that digital ad spend will outpace legacy media ad investments.
