iSpot: TV Ad Budgets Hold Steady Despite Economic Jitters

Despite ongoing economic uncertainty and growing concerns over tariffs and a potential recession, most advertisers plan to maintain or even increase their TV and streaming ad budgets this year, according to new survey data from video measurement firm iSpot. The findings, released ahead of this year’s Upfronts, show 86% of brands and agencies expect their budgets for TV and streaming to either stay the same or grow in 2025. Just 14% anticipate any cuts— though iSpot cautions that figure could rise if economic conditions worsen.
