Mobile to Lead Japan Online Ad Growth



Online advertising in the Japanese market is lower than in other markets, but growing at a faster rate.

Japan’s leading advertising agency, Dentsu Group, says search spending accounted for 27 percent of Japan’s online ad marketing in 2007, a figure significantly lower than in the United States (40 percent) and the United Kingdom (60 percent), eMarketer notes. By 2010, Dentsu predicts search will reach just 30 percent of Japanese online ad spending.

Dentsu also estimates that Japan’s mobile ad market grew by 42.5 percent in 2007. Mobile advertising is expected to remain the fastest-growing segment through 2010. Dentsu forecasts double-digit growth for the entire Japanese online ad industry to 2011, when growth is expected to slow to 9.6 percent.
