The increasing penetration of the internet is contributing to the market's growth. For instance, according to an article published by Data Portal, in 2024, around 5.35 billion were using the internet, accounting for 66.2% of the global population. Internet users have grown by 1.8% over the past year, with 97 million new users coming online for the first time during 2023. Similarly, as per the Statista, India's internet penetration rate increased to more than 52% in 2024, up from around 14% in 2014. Although these figures appear to be low, they represent more than half of the 1.4 billion people who had internet access that year. With an ever-growing number of internet users across the globe, digital marketing has become an essential strategy for businesses to reach their target audiences effectively. The increase in internet penetration rates has expanded the potential customer base, allowing marketers to leverage various online platforms such as social media, search engines, email, and websites to engage with users and promote products and services. This, in turn, has transformed the marketing landscape, prompting businesses to allocate more resources to digital marketing efforts to stay competitive in the digital era.
Moreover, the expanding e-commerce sector is a significant driver of growth in the digital marketing market. For instance, according to IMARC, the global e-commerce market size reached US$ 21.1 Trillion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 183.8 Trillion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 27.16% during 2024-2032. As more consumers turn to online shopping, e-commerce platforms provide a rich environment for targeted digital marketing. Businesses leverage search engine marketing (SEM), social media ads, and display advertising to attract and convert these online shoppers. Apart from this, the integration of AI in digital marketing allows for personalized content creation, efficient customer segmentation, and enhanced user experiences, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates. For instance, in September 2024, FMS Online Marketing, a prominent digital marketing business based in Chicago, launched a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) branch dedicated to changing local SEO results for its clients. The new AI division at FMS Online Marketing is dedicated to improving the efficacy of local SEO through the use of advanced algorithms and machine learning methods. These tools allow the agency to examine massive volumes of data, find patterns, and alter strategies more quickly than ever before. This data-driven approach enables the firm to create more focused campaigns, optimize ad spend, and produce demonstrable results more quickly.

According to the report, North America held the biggest share of the market due to its robust technological infrastructure, widespread internet access, and thriving digital economy.

Following the sixteenth straight year of growth, the number of users is expected to reach 799.31 million, marking a new high in 2029. This expansion allows businesses to reach diverse demographics across various online platforms.
The booming e-commerce sector in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia has led to increased investments in digital marketing to attract and retain online consumers. This is fueling the growth of the region.
The region has seen a substantial rise in internet users and smartphone adoption. For instance, Brazil's smartphone adoption rate reached 85% in 2019, with a 70% penetration rate for mobile services, further escalating the market growth.
Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are central to brand discovery and consumer engagement. For instance, in the second quarter of 2023, social media users in the Middle East spent an average of over four hours per day on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, further propelling the digital marketing demand.
