What the Data Reveals

Here are some of the biggest takeaways from Q4 2024:

  • Australia and the US continue to lead in value per click for the third consecutive quarter
  • The UK posted the strongest Sponsored Ads conversion rates, while another market continues to struggle on this front
  • Engagement gaps between markets continue to persist
  • Global ad growth accelerates due to Amazon’s expansion into new ad formats and greater adoption in emerging markets
  • Amazon DSP had an explosive Q4, which was likely brought on by the push into video ad placements

What This Means for Your Brand
