Ad Fraud Detection Tools Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Type (Website and Mobile) and End User (E Commerce, Travel, Finance, Gaming, and Others)

The global ad fraud detection tools market is expected to grow from US$ 252.92 million in 2021 to US$ 762.89 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 17.1% during 2021-2028.

Due to the growing fraudulent activities on advertisements, many companies adopt advertising fraud detection/prevention tools for several benefits, such as optimizing spending on the advertisement, proactive monitoring of campaigns, and maximizing campaign return on investment (ROI).

As per observation, advertisers collectively lost US$ 42 billion on ad spend during 2019 due to fraudulent activities, a 21% increase from the previous year, i.e., 2018. It is also predicted that by 2023, the total amount of loss due to ad fraud will reach approximately US$ 100 billion. Thus, with an ad fraud detection solution/tools, companies can reclaim the spend that is rightfully their own, ensuring better, more accurate, and lucrative results from their campaigns. Similarly, integrating an ad fraud solution/tools with existing platforms for managing advertising campaigns makes it easier to monitor campaigns proactively. Using an integrated solution, marketers can quickly inspect advertising metrics and check ad fraud detection notifications simultaneously. For instance, Anura Script can collect information about visitors using JavaScript to immediately capture hundreds of data points about a visitor to determine if the visitor is real or fake. Also, better marketing campaigns and optimization on spending on an advertisement helps in maximizing advertising ROI for marketers. For instance, according to the Anura Solutions article of March 2021, past data from other Anura clients indicates that the average rate of ad fraud in affiliate marketing campaigns is about 40%. This means that for every US$ 1 million spent, affiliate marketing campaigns are losing US$ 400,000 with no return on investment. The time wasted on managing fake deals, potential chargebacks, brand reputation issues, and Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) compliance issues, and the cost of ad fraud can demolish a company’s marketing ROI. Thus, an integrated ad fraud solution can identify fraud in actual time so the company can eliminate it immediately, which helps companies maximize advertising ROI since companies are not spending money on fraudulent impressions, clicks, or actions.
