OOH revenues surpass 2019 levels for first time

Out-of-home (OOH) advertising revenue increased 12.9% to £346m in the third quarter, according to new figures released by Outsmart.

The OOH trade body found Q3 2023 advertising revenue was up 4.9% compared to Q3 2019, the first time this has been higher for a corresponding quarter pre-pandemic.

Outdoor ad revenues have been climbing this year; H1 2023 saw a 5% increase in revenue compared to the equivalent period in 2022.

Broken down by inventory type, quarterly digital out-of-home (DOOH) revenue grew 15.6% while classic grew 8.1% year-on-year compared to Q3 2022.

Digital’s share of OOH revenue ticked up slightly to account for 65% in the quarter.

Dallas Wiles, co-CEO of JCDecaux UK said of the results: “It’s been a great year for out-of-home, thanks to the new OOH digital capabilities including programmatic, the launch of Playout providing industry proof-of-play and the new Route numbers showing that DOOH delivers an impressive 5 billion impressions a week, 260 billion a year.

“With TV reach falling, out-of-home is now the broadcast medium.”
