Location-based advertising holds about 5% of global ad revenue — that’s $56.9B in 2025 — and Out‑of‑Home (OOH) still leads the charge. Growth is fuelled by the return of commuters, world‑stage moments like the FIFA World Cup and Olympics, and fresh infrastructure investment worldwide. Digital OOH (DOOH) is the standout engine: +9.0% in 2025 to $22.2B, and a further 8.6% in 2026 as transit hubs, city centres, and landmark sites become dynamic, data‑driven canvases for brands. Cinema advertising keeps its premium, high‑engagement edge (+5.5% in 2025), but box‑office revenues still trail pre‑streaming peaks — even with blockbuster releases.
