Report Snapshot

Digital ad spending in Latin America will decelerate in 2023 after two years of record-breaking spend. Ongoing uncertainty—including a slowdown in economic growth and persistently high inflation—will add downward pressure on ad budgets this year. Despite this, the region will remain one of the world’s fastest-growing digital ad markets with double-digit gains through 2027.
