RANKFURT/LONDON: Google Inc prides itself on setting trends and its $750 million buy of mobile advertising group AdMob may be no exception.
A flurry of mergers and acquisitions is on the cards next year in the mobile ad industry as media players are encouraged by Google’s move in their quest for new revenue streams in the fast-growing area.
Some estimates suggest the market for mobile ads could rocket to $10 billion over the next four years, although expectations vary widely.
Given traditional advertising in mediums such as broadcast television is on the decline, companies such as Microsoft Corp
and AOL Inc may have to be prepared to pay premiums similar to what Google lavished for AdMob, a company with an estimated annual revenue of just $45 million to $60 million.
