Consequently, this week ZenithOptimedia downgraded its global ad spend forecast from 4.6% growth this year to 4.2%.

“Our first estimate is that these one-off events have knocked about US $2.4 billion off this year’s global ad expenditure,” the report notes.
“The underlying recovery remains healthy, though, and we have upgraded our forecast for 2012 from 5.2% to 5.8%,” ZenithOptimedia concluded.
The report estimates that developing markets will increase their share of global ad expenditure from 30.9% in 2010 to 35.1% in 2013. In the process, the Internet will become the world’s second-largest advertising medium in 2013, officially overtaking newspapers
