Of those who recall seeing digital out-of-home displays in the past month, 76% noticed them at multiple venues, the report says.
- Digital video screens in retail locations (including grocery stores, large retailer/department stores, drug stores, shopping malls or convenience stores) reach more than half of American adults in an average month.
- Digital out-of-home displays at gas stations and movie theaters each reach more than 20% of US adults per month.
Digital out-of-home currently has approximately 112 significant network operators (many running multiple networks) in the
38% of active digital OOH network operators are planning capital investments of between $1M-$10M to expand their venue and screen capacity in the next 12 months, finds the study. Just less than 20% of them plan on expanding their screen count to more than 1,000 each.
Though digital OOH advertising continues to grow, figures from the Outdoor Advertising Association of America for Q209 revealed that out-of-home revenue declined 18% for the quarter, from $2.2 billion in Q208 to $1.82 billion.
