Out-of-home advertising, also recognized as outdoor advertising, involves delivering messages to consumers when they are away from their residences. This form of advertising aims to promote a business's products and services effectively in order to attract new customers.
Various types of out-of-home advertising include billboards, transport, street furniture, transit displays, and more. Billboards, for instance, are expansive outdoor advertising structures often situated in high-traffic locations such as major roads. These advertising platforms come in static and digital formats and are utilized by diverse industries, including the food and beverage sector, automotive industry, health and medical field, commercial and personal services, consumer goods, and others.

The out-of-home advertising market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $33.9 billion in 2024 to $35.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid economic growth in emerging markets, rise of globalization, rise in transit advertising and rapid technology development.
The out-of-home advertising market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $43.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising urbanization, adoption of programmatic digital display advertisements, increase government spending on out-of-home advertising and growing digital out-of-home advertising. Major trends in the forecast period include investing in digital platforms to enhance viewers experience, offering interactive advertisements, consider deploying artificial intelligence in the ads, and offering mobile integrated advertising to increase customer interaction and exploring media business with digital transformation.
The expansion of the out-of-home advertising market can be attributed to the increasing urban population. The surge in urban residents contributes to elevated traffic congestion and longer waiting times. According to the INRIX 2020 Global Traffic Scorecard, London emerged as the most congested city in the UK. As of December 2022, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development reported that the global urban population share was projected to reach 56.5% in 2021, with developed nations having a higher percentage (79.5%) compared to developing nations (51.8%). The UN World Urbanization Prospects revision anticipates a global urban population increase to 68% by 2050, with significant growth in India, China, and Nigeria. This rise in urban population, contributing to heightened traffic congestion, is a key driver of the out-of-home advertising market.
The anticipated growth in the out-of-home advertising market is further fueled by the expanding advertising budgets. Advertising budgets represent planned financial resources allocated by individuals, corporations, or organizations to promote their products, services, or ideas through advertising and marketing initiatives. Out-of-home advertising plays a crucial role in these budgets, offering a blend of reach, impact, and cost-effectiveness. Its role is typically tailored to the specific marketing goals and target audience of a company or organization, often integrated into broader advertising campaigns. For instance, in August 2022, OpenText Corporation, a Canada-based enterprise data management software developer, reported advertising expenditures of $59.6 million, $52.9 million, and $32.1 million for fiscal years 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. This upward trend in advertising budgets is a significant driver for the out-of-home advertising market.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a staple for companies in their advertising strategies. The key applications and advantages of employing artificial intelligence in digital out-of-home advertising lie in its ability to facilitate agile and data-driven campaigns. A noteworthy example is McDonald's use of data, such as weather conditions and time of day, to prompt consumers to indulge in ice cream sundaes on hot days. Conversely, Coca-Cola strategically promoted smart water when temperatures exceeded 21 degrees. Virgin Trains also leveraged real-time traffic data to demonstrate to motorists how much quicker their journey could have been by using trains. Thus, the integration of AI and automation enables the optimization of ads, creatively adapting them based on real-time data.
Major players in the out-of-home advertising market are increasingly focusing on strategic collaborations to better cater to the needs of their existing consumer base. Strategic collaborations involve agreements between two or more separate companies to work together toward mutually agreed-upon goals. For instance, in January 2023, Daktronics Inc., a US-based out-of-home advertising company, entered into a partnership with Elan Media Partners. This collaboration aimed to design, produce, and install 38 digital LED displays at Doha Out of Home (OOH) sites in the fall of 2022. These displays, strategically placed in some of Doha's busiest neighborhoods, played a crucial role in supporting numerous marketers and sponsors during a global event attended by millions. The screens offered exceptionally sharp and dynamic graphics with millions of hues, enhancing the vibrancy of businesses' creativity and intended messaging.
In May 2024, Broadsign, a Canada-based software company, acquired OutMoove for an undisclosed amount. The goal of Broadsign's acquisition is to enhance its digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising ecosystem by leveraging OutMoove's specialized demand-side platform (DSP) technology and expertise. OutMoove, based in the Netherlands, is a digital out-of-home (DOOH) demand-side platform known for its user-friendly, real-time outdoor advertising buying platform that utilizes the language and metrics of outdoor advertising.
