The report, The Economics of Mobile Ad Spend 2013 - 2016: Global Inventory, Media Billings and Business Operations, presents a detailed accounting of global sales by territory, including the U.S., Europe, AsiaPac, Africa and Latin America, calculated against inventory requests, formats, pricing by region, fill rates, CTRs and eCPMs.

CPM inventory, performance-driven media conversion rates, served and data-enhanced impressions are fueling business operations yielding strong sector net revenue growth across technology solution categories including ad networks, ad serving platforms, audience profiling specialists, exchanges and programmatic trading environments.
