Adtech Singapore:

Everything you need to know (2023)

By 2026, the Southeast Asian digital advertising market is expected to be valued at US$15.4 billion (S$21 billion). Although adtech represents a growing facet of Singapore’s digital economy, it remains considerably untapped.

In 2017, Singapore-based startup AdAsia Holdings received US$12 million (S$16.4 million) in series A funding. Since then, Singapore’s adtech scene has gradually developed, with establishments from both homegrown startups and international companies.

Combined with the parallel rise in smartphone usage and online applications, the potential and valuation of adtech companies will grow in years to come.

As Singapore’s adtech landscape continues to grow from strength to strength, we’ll update this page with the latest adtech news, reports, and resources.

What is Adtech?

Adtech is short for advertising technology. It is an umbrella term used to describe the use of software tools and applications to help companies and brands target, deliver, and analyze digital advertising efforts.

Though there are plenty of software tools out there, these two strategies remain the most prominent:

  • Programmatic advertising targets a particular demographic via purchasing a media or advertising space
  • Omnichannel marketing focuses on delivering a consistent and personalized experience to consumers across multiple channels

Adtech benefits marketers by providing them with measurable audience data to target specific consumers and engage with them at every stage of their brand journey. Adtech not only ensures better usage of marketing budgets, but it also builds a tailored story for consumers throughout the marketing funnel experience.
