The European digital Retail Media market was estimated at €14.3 billion in 2024. According to WARC, Retail Media advertising spending in Europe is forecast to rise to €22.3 billion in 2026 and €31.3 billion by 2028 (excluding in-store spending). Digital advertising spending in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has significantly contributed to this growth. In 2023, the total digital advertising expenditure in the CEE region was estimated to be around $18.9 billion, and this growth is expected to continue, with projections indicating a 33% increase between 2024 and 2029. The internet remains the leading advertising medium in most CEE countries, accounting for more than half of the total expenditure.
In 2023, the value of the e-commerce market in the CEE region increased by 29%, reaching €104 billion. As e-commerce continues to grow rapidly, brands are shifting budgets from traditional media towards Retail Media Networks (RMNs). The flourishing Retail Media industry across Europe underscores the importance of data-driven, high-impact advertising solutions that empower brands to capture consumer attention, increase engagement, and boost sales.
The GoWit and Heureka Retail Media partnership is set to bridge the Retail Media gap in Central and Eastern Europe, offering a transformative approach to digital advertising. With GoWit’s AI-driven targeting, real-time optimization, and omnichannel capabilities, brands on Heureka’s platforms can expect superior ad performance and return on investment.
Emrah Adsan, CEO of GoWit, added: “This partnership with Heureka Group marks a pivotal step in our mission to redefine Retail Media advertising in Central and Eastern Europe. As digital advertising continues to gain traction in the region, one of the most dynamic digital advertising markets in Europe, GoWit is committed to providing brands and retailers with a unified, high-performance advertising platform that seamlessly connects them with target shoppers and supports them with strong ad revenue.
Europe’s Retail Media market is projected to grow fivefold, from €6 billion in 2020 to over €30 billion by 2028. While most investment today focuses on onsite opportunities, there is significant room for expansion in off-site and in-store advertising. This collaboration ensures that Heureka’s merchants can maximize their digital ad investments through a diverse mix of product, brand, and video ads, driving higher engagement, visibility, and sales.”
