Brands, marketers, agencies and adtech vendors--collectively the demand side--have all clamored for more premium in-stream ad inventory, and in 2015 the supply side is unlocking some 296 billion avails, though ad op growing pains persist. 

Media execs too, for their part, are determined that IP premium television be monetized in similar fashion to linear clock counterparts across all platforms, further contributing to unit volume increases (in-stream formats), exhibiting a CAGR of 47.3% 2003 - 2014. 

Despite pain points, spend is forecast at $4.8 billion (U.S. in-stream only) during the calendar year, with internet pure plays owning 56% of the market, broadcasters/cable programmers 36.5%, aggregation platforms 6% and print/magazine publishers 1.4%.

Integration of linear and on-demand systems inside the organizaton is still early stage: linear and on-demand content management groups are just beginning to work in tandem to bring a unified workflow process to cross-channel monetization. 




Ongoing digital video advertising playback and performance research conducted through AvailPlay Video Monitoring Services by AccuStream Research, with latest results and analysis contained in the industry trade resource In-Stream Video Advertising 101: Inventory Abundance, Execution Headaches, indicates better integrated workflow is necessary to create a unified, seamless content/advertising output that delivers a satisfying audience viewing experience on par with TV.

At this stage in the market's evolution, the desktop remains the most exploited screen/platform, in aggregate.
