German industry association VAUNET warns of increasing dominance by "Big Tech" companies in the German advertising market across TV, video streaming, and audio media. VAUNET forecasts a 4.3% growth in advertising revenue in these sectors, reaching €6.55 billion, but highlights concerns over market concentration. The report emphasizes the growing influence of major tech firms in the regional ad market.
VAUNET’s forecast points to a larger German ad market even as it flags rising concentration around Big Tech across TV, video streaming and audio. For streaming operators and media sellers, the immediate issue is not demand weakness but who captures the expanding €6.55 billion pool. The report ties the concern to multiple formats, which makes the competitive pressure broader than one screen or one inventory type. The key number to watch next is whether the market reaches VAUNET’s 4.3% growth forecast and the €6.55 billion total.
