Singapore ranks 18th globally in daily digital ad exposure

At the top of the list is Nauru, where users encounter nearly 1,600 ad placements daily, followed by Iceland with over 1,500.

Internet users in Singapore are exposed to nearly 750 digital ads every day, placing the nation 18th globally for online ad saturation, according to a study by global AdTech firm Eskimi.

The research analyzed advertising data from websites and apps across 188 countries. At the top of the list is Nauru, where users encounter nearly 1,600 ad placements daily, followed by Iceland with over 1,500.

Despite Singapore’s relatively high ranking, the study found that most of the ads seen locally appear on mobile apps. Singaporeans encounter three times more ads on apps than on websites.

User habits also play a role. According to Meltwater and We Are Social’s Global Digital Report, Singaporeans spend about 6.5 hours online daily—less than South Africans (10 hours) but more than Japanese users (4 hours).

With digital fatigue on the rise, Eskimi advises advertisers to focus less on volume and more on quality.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
