German digital ad market forecast raised for 2026
The German digital advertising market is projected to grow by 13.8% to nearly €9 billion in 2026, according to an updated OVK forecast. This upward revision from the spring forecast is driven by strong H1 performance (Q1 up 12%, Q2 up 15%) and an expanded data basis including Connected TV and streaming. Digital video will account for €4.8 billion (53% of the market), and programmatic buying is projected to reach €7.1 billion (78%). The report highlights the rise of agentic advertising and the impact of generative AI on publishers. Media agencies report strong demand, with 70% describing it as strong, but a Dmexco survey finds 39% of marketers expect flat budgets. The trade sector led ad spending growth, while the automotive sector saw the largest increase at 50%.
