How fast is global DOOH advertising growing?
According to research from PQ Media, worldwide digital out-of-home (DOOF) expenditure climbed 12% in 2025, a slower pace than the 15.5% expansion recorded in 2024. Digital place-based networks grew 12.4% to $18.20 billion, while digital billboards and posters rose 11.3% to $9.28 billion. PQ Media founder and CEO Patrick Quinn noted that brands increasingly view DOOF as a core part of omni-media campaigns crediting AI and programmatic buying with helping operators sharpen messaging and measure return on investment. The sector has now posted four straight years of double-digit gains after a 26.0 pandemic-driven contraction in 2020. China became the largest OOH market at $16.65 billion in 2025 with Australia the fastest-growing major market at 9.7% according to the same PQ Media forecast.
