Retail’s resilience and its outsized role in digital ad spending will help offset the impact of a broader slowdown in growth in the US digital advertising market.
LEGO’s website is by far the most visited toy retail website among US consumers, with 5.89 million unique visitors in August 2024, according to data from Comscore Inc.
The majority (77.7%) of ad spend in the US is digital. Retail dwarfs all categories in terms of sheer size, but its position as a growth driver falls this year as telecom takes the top place.
TV is transforming into a retail platform: Shoppable media drives real-time purchasing, with US consumers spending $290 annually on TV-inspired products.
