Market Position

The global mobile advertising market which is expected to hit $144 billion in 2022, has recently seen a slowdown in the second half of 2022 with significant revenue misses announced by Amazon, Google, Snapchat and many other major companies with advertising revenues. Most recently, Roblox announced the cessation of all advertising and sponsorship to the 47% of its player base that are under the age of 13. Kidoz has not experienced a downturn in advertising demand and in fact has seen strong double-digit growth in demand. Such powerful growth within the kids segment of advertising could be a signal of the growing acceptance that Kid-Safe advertising solutions are becoming a standard component in more advertising campaigns.

Kidoz specializes in safe and compliant monetization for app developers who are responsible for adhering to tight government regulations for advertising to children that come with high penalties if broken. In addition to government policy, app developers must follow the policies set by the platform owners, Apple and Google, who protect children with strict rules regarding data tracking and the requirement for apps that appeal to children to segment traffic with the use of an age gate. Age gates are the key to monetization compliance as app developers are then properly treating different cohorts of users in the appropriate way. As more app developers adopt safe and compliant monetization strategies through the use of age gates, Kidoz growth advances. While no official figures exist, Kidoz estimates less than 1% of apps currently use age gates in their monetization strategies so the potential for long-term sustained growth is high.

In Q3 2022, Kidoz continued on a high growth trajectory while remaining focused on profitability for the 2022 fiscal year. We anticipate over 50% of our annual business will be conducted in the upcoming Q4. The Kidoz network continues to grow rapidly in size and now boasts more than double the SDK app adoption than its closest direct mobile ad competitor. Kidoz continues to build value and trust with advertisers by facilitating pre-campaign contextual app list planning, live campaign optimizations, and detailed post-campaign reporting and analysis while maintaining Kidoz's niche offering of private, safe, and contextual advertising. Kidoz has added a large number of new exciting app publishers including leading organizations such as HyperBeard and Dramaton. These new partnerships increase Kidoz's market leadership position and will enable the Company to secure a larger share of the global mobile advertising market which according to Fortune Business Insights, "the mobile advertising market is projected to grow from $144.08 billion in 2022 to $621.63 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 23.2% during the forecast period."
