Multi-Touch Attribution - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts 2019 - 2029


The Multi-Touch Attribution Market size is estimated at USD 2.14 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.05 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.64% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Businesses are rapidly upgrading themselves and embracing technological disruptions globally, increasing the marketing managers to strategically spend on marketing activities and adopt the latest digital marketing trends. Hence, adopting the multi-touch attribution model over the single-touch attribution model is expected to increase.

Key Highlights

  • Due to the increased adoption of social media and other digital platforms, marketing managers are investing significantly to support and boost their sales. According to a published article by Advertising Age, a financial services firm boosted marketing spending by 55% in the first nine months of 2022, on top of a 78% increase in 2021.
  • In May 2022, Veritonic, an audio research and analytics platform, announced the debut of its audio attribution solution. It will assist businesses in tracking and measuring audio ad performance across any app, hosting platform, or listening device. It would allow marketers to better understand the effect of their audio creative and gain actionable insights that would increase the ROI on their advertising spend.
  • The massive growth of the e-commerce website is a major factor driving marketers' adoption of multi-touch or multi-channel attribution strategy. Nowadays, the primary issue the e-commerce website faces is when a user abandons the product in the shopping cart. According to Contact Pigeon, about 70% of e-commerce shoppers abandon their carts. Marketing automation helps in sending out automated mail to the user, notifying them about the discontinued product.
  • The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) further propelled the growth of predictive personalization, expected to be the most prolific advantage of utilizing marketing attribution over the forecast period. AI allows managers to understand their customers more profoundly, which involves analyzing and predicting the channels. It acts as a major driver for customer conversion and retention.
  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, retailers and leading luxury brands globally were facing short-term challenges across sustained revenues, health and safety, supply chain management, labor shortages, and pricing, to name a few. With governments worldwide enforcing quarantines to curb transmission of COVID-19, people staying back at home led to increased online shopping and bulk buying of goods. It resulted in massive supply chain stress. Amidst this outbreak, multi-touch attribution solutions also assisted retailers in attaining positive outcomes.

Retail & E-commerce Industry Expected to Show Maximum Growth

  • The growing digital commerce market and tighter operational budgets are enabling e-commerce players to make smart choices regarding the technologies and solutions to invest in. It would help them maximize their ROI. Retailers must adopt strategic solutions to maximize customer conversion to understand the customers and their needs for convenient and consistent shopping experiences.
  • Additionally, a significant portion of the retailers lose over one-third of their investment in trade promotions, primarily due to decision-makers' inability to measure ROI, trade promotion ineffectiveness, and profitably optimize spend by leveraging data. It led to many retailers in the market currently adopting a multi-touch attribution model over a single-touch attribution model. It helps them analyze which touchpoint or marketing channel directly drives customer conversion.
  • In March 2023, Lily AI announced the debut of a self-service model of its product attributes platform. This self-service solution gives retailers and brands the flexibility to directly apply increased product attribution throughout their product catalog for use by both merchandising and marketing operations.

North America Expected to Dominate the Market

  • North American market is expected to continue to dominate the multi-touch attribution market, as most of the major global vendors are based in the region. The increasing marketing services investment and an enormous social media presence make the region a lucrative hub for the market studied.

The fourth quarter of 2022 e-commerce estimate increased 6.5% from the fourth quarter of 2021, while total retail sales increased 5.7% in the same period.
