Online Ad Spending in Western Europe: The Internet has Withstood Recessionary Pressures far Better than Other Media

DUBLIN – Research and Markets has announced the addition of eMarketer’s new report “Online Ad Spending in Western Europe” to their offering.

France and Germany are relatively mature markets for online advertising. The Italian and Spanish markets are developing at a slower pace, chiefly because Internet use is less widespread. Television remains the overwhelmingly dominant advertising medium in both Italy and Spain, and this has tended to limit Internet ad spending.

Throughout Western Europe, total advertising spending has plunged with the financial downturn. But the Internet has withstood recessionary pressures far better than other media. Online ad spending will post important gains in 2009 and regain significant momentum in 2010.

Paid search has proved the most popular online ad format in these tough times, while European marketers’ commitment to display, classified ads and e-mail has been somewhat weaker.
