PROGRAMMATIC DISPLAY MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

By type, the market is segmented into real time bidding (RTB), programmatic direct, and private exchange buying (PMP).

The RTB segment is predicted to increase its dominance in the programmatic display market. Ad space is bought and sold online in real-time auctions that take milliseconds.
