Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising refers to any form of advertising that targets consumers while they are outside of their homes, or in public spaces. OOH advertising encompasses a wide range of formats, including billboards, posters, transit advertising, street furniture, and experiential marketing.
Static and digital are the two main platforms for OOH advertisements. Static platforms use non-digital media for advertisements whereas digital platforms use electronic screens to display dynamic ads. Digital OOH advertisements provide the added benefit of being able to change content quickly, in real-time, and target specific audiences with personalized messaging, unlike static OOH advertisements.
Transit advertising refers to ads that appear on public transportation vehicles such as buses, trains and subways. The ads are often highly targeted, based on the demographics of the audience that uses each mode of transportation.
Street furniture refers to ad displays on items such as bus shelters, benches, kiosks and trash cans. The ads are typically smaller than billboards but still provide a high level of exposure to consumers in urban areas.

Stringent government regulations
Government regulations have a significant impact on the growth of the global out-of-home (OOH) advertisement market. While regulations are intended to protect consumers and promote fair competition, they can also limit the ability of OOH advertisers to reach their target audience and can increase their costs.
