(MADRID) - According to an eMarketer study, Internet advertising investments will continue to increase in the United States within the next years. It is projected that it will reach 25.6% in 2015, while TV ads will be stalled at a 40% rate.

Online advertising invoices will jump from the 16,100 million of 2009 to 31,500 million by 2015. This Internet increase could negatively affect traditional press, which will suffer a decrease in quotas from the 14.9% of 2010 to 11.4% within the next few years.

According to eMarketer’s Director Geoff Ramsey, it is estimated that TV advertising has been regressing to its pre-recession levels. He further explains that even though Internet ads have been gaining momentum, TV advertising is still a big part of companies’ ad budgets.

Therefore, Internet as an ad source is not ceasing. According to Infoadex ad investment data of this year’s first trimester, Internet advertising has increased 18.5% from the 60 million euros invested in 2010 to a growing 71 million euros.

This leads to the conclusion that Internet is not only an ad source that has increased its investments in percentage terms, but it has also grown in absolute terms. It has gained 11 million entries relative to last year’s.

According to the International Marketing Forum, the future of advertising will depend on the Internet as a main source, as recent data has thus far shown.

According to Hayas Media, Internet has been the medium that has grown the most, an increasing audience reaching 10 million, as well as in investments.

In comparison with last year, Internet has been the only medium that has significantly increased its audience incisiveness. It is estimated that 83.3% of Internet users connect from their homes, while those that connect from work or universities are much less.
