According to Pixalate’s research, based on an analysis of over 7 billion global CTV open programmatic ad transactions, Samsung led with 24% SOV in EMEA and Xiaomi led with 15% SOV in APAC

LONDON, March 26, 2026 -- Pixalate, the leading global platform for ad fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics, released the Q4 2025 Global Connected TV (CTV) Ad Supply Chain Trends Report. The report includes regional data for North America (United States and Canada), Europe, and Latin America [LATAM]. Pixalate also released country-level reports for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mexico.

LG ranked within the top 10 devices in all four regions on the Market Share of Voice (SOV): North America (5th), LATAM (3rd), EMEA (6th), and APAC (10th). Roku maintained its lead in North America and LATAM, Samsung Smart TV in EMEA, and Xiaomi led in APAC.

Pixalate’s CTV Market Share of Voice (SOV) is based on the percentage of open programmatic ads delivered to specific devices in Q4 2025. Open programmatic ad impressions serve as a proxy for device usage and household penetration.

Global Findings, including Invalid Traffic (IVT) and Ad Spend Trends

Pixalate measures device market share using open programmatic ad transactions, tracking actual device usage rather than units sold. Pixalate’s research found that:

  • $6.9 billion in global open programmatic CTV ad spend was recorded during Q4 2025 (9% YoY decrease, inclusive of IVT)
  • 21% of global CTV open programmatic ad traffic in Q4 2025 was invalid traffic (IVT)
    • Amazon Fire TV had the lowest global ad fraud IVT rate at 14%, while Samsung Smart TV had the highest at 28%
  • LG Smart TV had the highest rate of unmapped Bundle IDs, with 73% of ad traffic not using official App Store IDs
  • 65% of Amazon Fire TV ad traffic went to ‘Movies & TV’ apps, 14% to ‘Sports’, and 13% to ‘News’ apps
  • CTV app ‘Fubo’ saw the highest volume of non-IVT ad impressions on Apple TV

Pixalate’s data science team analyzed over 7 billion open programmatic advertising transactions across 185,000 CTV devices in Q4 2025 to compile this research.

The content of this press release, and the Global Q4 2025 CTV Device Market Share Reports  (the "Report"), reflects Pixalate's opinions with respect to factors that Pixalate believes may be useful to the digital media industry. Any data shared is grounded in Pixalate’s proprietary technology and analytics, which Pixalate is continuously evaluating and updating. Any references to outside sources should not be construed as endorsements. Pixalate's opinions are just that, opinions, which means that they are neither facts nor guarantees. Pixalate is sharing this data not to impugn the standing or reputation of any entity, person or app, but, instead, to report findings and trends pertaining to programmatic advertising activity across in the time period studied. Per the Media Rating Council (MRC), “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.” Where the traffic characteristics are suggestive of deliberate intent to mislead, such IVT is often referred to as “ad fraud.” Also per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes.”
