Ayaz Nanji says, “Global ad expenditure is expected to grow 4.2% globally in 2015, reaching $531 billion by the end of the year, according to a June forecast from ZenithOptimedia.

“Fast-track Asia” (China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam) is expected to see the biggest increase in ad spend growth this year of any region (9.4%), followed by Latin America (8.2%).

Eastern Europe/Central Asia is the only region where ad spend is expected to decline in 2015 (-8.5%), in large part because of a drop in oil prices and sanctions against Russia“.
