📊 From 2020 to 2026: The Evolution of Hong Kong Programmatic Landscape

Six years ago, IAB Hong Kong launched its very first Programmatic Landscape—a snapshot of a nascent ecosystem. Since then, we have worked closely with our members to guide industry progress, establish standards, and navigate massive technological shifts.
 
Swipe to see the original 2020 Landscape vs. our brand-new 2026 Edition.
 
The difference is night and day. It’s no longer just about "Verification" and "Ad Serving." Today’s landscape is a mature, sophisticated matrix built for a privacy-first, omnichannel world:
  • The Rise of RMNs – Retail & Commerce Media now form a powerful new pillar.
  • Data Sovereignty – Data Clean Rooms and CDPs are critical foundational blocks.
  • Emerging Channels – Major expansions in CTV, Audio, and pDOOH showcase a truly omnichannel future.
This landscape reflects the hard work and foresight of the companies shaping Hong Kong’s digital future. Use this map as a strategic guide to navigate the ecosystem and drive your business forward!
