AI-driven search ad spending set to surge to $26 billion by 2029, data shows
Briefly

Spending on AI-driven search advertising in the U.S. is forecasted to rise dramatically, from over $1 billion in 2023 to nearly $26 billion by 2029. This surge is attributed to rapid technology adoption and enhanced user targeting capabilities. As AI search ads gain traction, traditional keyword-based ads risk losing revenue, prompting companies like Chegg to adjust business models accordingly. Major players like Google and Microsoft are integrating AI to compete with chatbots. Publishers are turning to subscriptions to address reduced traffic caused by AI search.
