The gaming and betting sector recorded the highest growth in digital advertising in Brazil in 2024, with a 192% increase in investments.

The Digital AdSpend 2025 study analysed data from 1,600 websites, portals and channels such as Google, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The study pointed to a more balanced distribution of investments throughout the year, a trend that continues for the third year in a row.
Social media accounted for 53% of digital advertising spend. Google ads accounted for 28% and other sites and media for 19%. In terms of formats, video content led the investment with 42% of the total, followed by images (30%) and search (28%). Mobile devices accounted for 74% of resources, while desktop accounted for 26%.
Denise Porto Hruby, CEO of IAB Brazil, said that the maturity of the market demands data-driven strategic decisions. The study also recorded a 41% increase in retail media investments compared to 2023, totalling R$3.5 billion.
