The World Economic Forum (WEF) has cautioned that new technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing can turn around human lives, but may also make society more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. It was stated that attacks occur on average once every 39 seconds and a single breach could cost as much as $150 million in 2020. Although companies and organizations are aware of these risks, breach activity still takes around six months to detect, and the long delays between original network breach and security responses allow hackers to take advantage of significant quantities of data. According to the State of the breach June 2020, about 16 billion records including credit card numbers, phone numbers, home addresses, and other sensitive information were exposed through data breaches since 2019. Therefore, the risks associated with data breaches and hacking hampers the growth of the artificial intelligence services market.

Digital advertising refers to the services that promote businesses online, such as through search engines, social media, websites, and any other program that can be accessed digitally. Digital advertising helps achieve a variety of business goals across the marketing funnel, ranging from brand awareness to customer engagement, to launching new products and driving repeat sales. The main platforms of digital advertising are mobile advertising (In-app and mobile web), desktop advertising, digital TV, and others. Digital television refers to the transmission of television signals using digital rather than analogue technologies. The various formats of ads include digital display ads (programmatic and non-programmatic transactions), internet paid search, social media, online video, and others and are used by media and entertainment, consumer goods and retail industry, banking, financial services, and insurance, the telecommunications and IT sector, the travel industry, the healthcare sector, manufacturing and supply chain, transportation and logistics, energy, power, and utilities, and others. The global digital advertising market is segmented - 1) By Platform: Mobile Ad (In-App and Mobile Web), Desktop Ad, Digital TV, Other Platforms 2) By Ad Format: Digital Display Ad (Programmatic and Non-programmatic Transactions, Internet Paid Search, Social Media, Online Video, Other Ad Formats 3) By Industrial Vertical: Media and Entertainment, Consumer Goods & Retail Industry, Banking, Financial Service & Insurance, Telecommunication IT Sector, Travel Industry, Healthcare Sector, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, Transportation and Logistics, Energy, Power, and Utilities, Other Industrial Verticals The global digital advertising market size will grow from $178.29 billion in 2022 to $185.17 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global digital advertising is expected to grow to $209.43 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.1%. The internet user base's expansion coupled with self-service platforms is driving the global digital advertising market. The Internet is extensively used for e-commerce, e-learning, social connectivity, media, communication, and file transfers. According to Internet World Stats, as of June 2020, the number of internet users in the world is 4.8 billion, which accounts for more than 60% of the global population. In addition to this, the growing popularity of self-service advertising platforms is also the main contributor to the digital advertising market. Self-service advertising platforms are providing advertisers more convenience in the placement of their advertisements. The ease of being able to set up and administer their campaigns without the inconvenience of dealing with human intermediaries draws advertisers’ attention towards digital marketing. Therefore, an increase in the internet user base along with self-service platforms is driving the market. Major players in the digital advertising market are Google Ads, Facebook, Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Tencent, Microsoft, Verizon, Twitter, and Sina. The growing use of ad blockers is expected to hinder the global digital advertising market. Most internet users do not prefer ads as they are not interested in the ad content and block these ads. For instance, according to a 2020 Edelman study, seven out of ten consumers avoid ads by changing their media habits (49%) and using ad blockers (48%). In fact, according to Blockthrough’s March 2021 survey, about 40% of US internet users use ad blocker on any device. This is becoming a constraint for advertisers in reaching their audience and promoting their business. Therefore, the rise in the use of ad blockers is expected to limit the market's growth. Technological advancements such as AR (augmented reality) are a major trend gaining popularity in the global digital advertising market. These days, advertisers have adopted augmented reality in their advertising strategies to enhance the user experience. For instance, in 2021, Snapchat, a pioneer in AR ads, launched a studio to assist clients in developing augmented reality advertising and experiences, as part of an effort to popularise the use of technology that can overlay computer-generated pictures over a person's perspective of the current world. AR ads are more than informative as people will have the ability to interact with the content rather than just viewing it.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global digital signature is expected to grow to $21.08 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 32.8%. Supporting policies by the governments of various nations drove the digital signature market. For instance, the US government has passed an act called the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (also known as 21st Century IDEA Act). The 21st Century IDEA Act created a set of minimum functionalities and security standards that federal agencies must meet. According to this Act, the agencies must offer digital versions of paper-based citizen services and accept digital signatures, thereby, allowing citizens to complete transactions digitally. Such policies by the government of various nations have boosted the demand for the digital signature market.

Little, Shachihata Inc., Glykka LLC., eSign Genie, SignaShare, KeepSolid Inc., GetAccept Inc., Symtrax Holdings Inc., Microsoft Corporation, International Business solutions LLC., Korea SYSTEM’s TECH Inc., Kotrade Inc. and Oracle Corporation. The lack of awareness about the legality of the digital signature is a major challenge for the digital signature market. Several countries have formulated laws assigning legal validity to digital signatures to ensure authenticity and security. For instance, ESIGN Act (Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act), GPEA (Government Paperwork Elimination Act), EU law (EU Directive for Electronic Signatures), and Indian IT Act 2000, among others. However, the public across various countries are unaware of the existence of the digital signature law. This is mainly because of the lack of proper communication on the adoption of laws and regulations. Due to the complexity of regulations and the difficulty of understanding laws, the public seems to be unaware of the details. Therefore, the lack of awareness about the legality of a digital signature is limiting the adoption of digital signatures thereby impacting the market growth. The digital signature solutions providing companies are integrating blockchain technology with the digital signature. The goal of integrating blockchain with a digital signature is to offer users the possibility to certify integrity and time stamp. For instance, DocuSign collaborated with Visa for the public prototypes of a blockchain-based smart contract. A blockchain-based smart contract turns the contract into a computer program and the internet-connected program monitors and triggers the relevant actions on the contract's terms.
