IAB Categories IVT Trends Reports
Pixalate this week released the Q3 2024 IAB Categories IVT Trends Reports, which analyze the Invalid Traffic (IVT) rates across the top ten IAB categories by region, based on the share of mobile app global open programmatic ad spend across the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Pixalate’s data science team analyzed over 70 billion open programmatic ad transactions across 10 million mobile apps in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store (including apps deemed delisted by Pixalate) in Q3 2024 to compile the research in this series. Pixalate's datasets consist predominantly of buy-side open auction programmatic traffic sources.
