Duopoly watch: Google and Facebook gobble up even more ad dollars

Duopoly watch: Google and Facebook gobble up even more ad dollars

By Sara Fischer March 14, 2017

A new eMarketer study estimates Google and Facebook will continue to devour the $83 billion U.S. digital ad market, with Facebook growing to account for 1/3 of all display advertising and Google growing to take 78% of all search ad revenue this year.

Why it matters: Google and Facebook have an effective "duopoly" over digital ad revenue, eating up more than 90% of all new ad dollars. eMarketer's new report reinforces the difficult position digital publishers are in to create revenue opportunities amid a scarce digital ad environment.

Here's how eMarketer predicts some of the major players will fare:

Facebook's display biz grows: Facebook will account for a third of all U.S. digital display ad dollars in 2017, with $16.3 billion in estimated spend. (Display ads are typically in boxes that appear on a webpage in different formats.) Analysts credit Facebook's growth partially to Instagram, which will make up 20% of Facebook's U.S. mobile revenue this year, up 5% from 2016.

Google display shrinks, but search biz grows: Google will account for 40.7% of U.S. digital ad revenues in 2017—more than double Facebook's share, which is mostly due to its dominance in search engine advertising. Its display ad business will drop 12.5% in market share this year as Facebook positions itself as a leader in the display market. eMarketer anticipates Google will grow its search ad business by 16.1% to $28.55 billion, meaning Google will take around 78% of the U.S. search ad revenues this year.

Snapchat's ad biz grows but less than estimates: Snapchat is growing, but not enough to take a big piece of the pie. eMarketer predicts Snapchat will account for 1.3% of this year's ad market and will grow to 2.7% by 2019. eMarketer predicted Snapchat's ad revenue will grow 157.8% to $770 million in the U.S. this year, which is no surprise given the investment it's made into building its ad business ahead of its IPO. However, this estimate is lower than the previous $800 million prediction due to higher revenue-sharing costs with publishers on the platform.

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke...

New ATM's: withdraw money with veins in your finger

New cash machines: withdraw money with veins in your finger Cash machine technology that reads the pattern of finger veins is already available in Japan and Poland   By Telegraph Reporters 6:59PM BST 15 May 2014 Cash machines could soon be installed with devices that identify customers by reading the veins in their fingers. The technology is already being rolled out in Poland, where 1,730 cash machines will this year be installed with readers, negating the need for a debit card and Pin. Developed by Hitachi, the Japanese electronics firm, the machines read the patterns of the veins just below the surface of the skin on your finger using infra-red sensors. The light is partially absorbed by haemoglobin in the veins to capture a unique finger vein pattern profile, which is matched to a profile. The technology is used by Japanese banks and also in Turkey, offering “groundbreaking levels of accuracy and speed of authentication”, Hitachi said, which in t...
