This is quite an impressive considering the growth of mobile, especially smartphone, has been meteoric in the recent few years. In contrast, marketers are spending only 8% of the total ad spend on mobile advertising. The gap is disappointing as quite a large part of the market remain untapped and. The significance of the gap could be well understood with the fact that it is $25 billion worth opportunity in the US alone.

The number of Mobile Daily Active Users has already surpassed 844 million, which amounts to 60% of the total user base. In Q2 2015, Mobile advertising had constituted nearly three-fourth (76%) of the total advertising revenue of Facebook.
