Methodology
!
The data presented in this report is generated by the OpenX Ad Exchange
which processes and delivers digital ad impressions globally. Our analysis is
based on data from January 2013 through December 2014, in order to capture
trends in our programmatic platform. Specifically, we use ad calls to our
platform to illustrate the reach of our publisher ecosystem, and ad spend to
depict the adoption of programmatic by advertisers.

Key Findings
Programmatic advertising enjoyed strong
growth in 2014, with a 64% jump in ad
spend and a 26% increase in supply.!
!
Growth in demand was primarily driven
by five industries (CPG, Insurance,
Telecom, Retail, and Health & Beauty),
accounting for nearly 40% of total ad
spend.!
!
Our trusted publisher ecosystem reached
users across the globe with almost half
(48%) of all ad requests stemming from
outside the U.S. Meanwhile, buyers
increasingly spent their advertising
dollars on audiences outside the U.S.,
primarily in Europe and Canada.
Mobile ad requests nearly tripled in
volume since 2013, while demand for
mobile inventory grew 4x faster than
demand for desktop ad units.!
!
Newer ad formats (e.g. 320x50, 300x600
and 970x250) saw the highest increase
in adoption, allowing advertisers to
deliver more interactive and impactful
ads (e.g. IAB Rising Star formats).!
!
Publishers from various categories
increasingly explored newer
programmatic models. For example,
private marketplaces resulted in a 3x
higher eCPM than RTB open auctions by
delivering premium inventory and richer
audience data.
