Magna: Online Video To Grow 32% In '09

"Despite the economic downturn and its inevitable strains on overall advertising expenditures, online video is clearly holding up as a beacon of change and growth, according to an online video forecast released Monday by Magna.

Magna -- a unit of Interpublic's Mediabrands division -- forecasts that the U.S. market for online video will grow by 32% this year, rising from $531 million in 2008 to $699 million in 2009.

In total, by 2011, Magna expects online video to generate slightly more than $1 billion in net advertising revenues for video content. This represents a compounded annual growth rate of 36% for each year between 2006 and 2011.

Magna attributes the growth to that notion that advertisers are looking to reach their consumers in a more targeted and cost-effective manner as marketing budgets are reduced across industries."
