The Connected TV (CTV) programmatic advertising market is rising rapidly. According to Pixalate’s Global Connected TV Ad Supply Chain Trends Report, in the first half of 2021, 86% of all U.S. households were reachable via programmatic CTV ads. Moreover, ad spending on programmatic CTV jumped by 50% YoY, and it is expected to grow significantly until at least 2024.
Roku remained a strong leader among CTV devices in the first half of 2021, with 45% of all open programmatic CTV ads delivered on its devices. Roku is ahead of Amazon (14%) and Samsung (12%), which earned the second and third position in the ranking, respectively.
However, compared to the previous year, Roku’s share of voice in the open CTV programmatic ad market dropped by 9%. On the other hand, Samsung’s SOV increased by 197%. Except for Samsung, only Vizio (14%) and Amazon (13%) rose by double-digit percentages YoY. On the other end, Microsoft (-32%), LG (-27%), and Chromecast (-13%) all saw decreases in SOV.

Per the Media Rating Council (MRC), “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.” IVT is also sometimes referred to as “ad fraud.” Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes.
