The Internet has established itself as an advertising medium and is increasing in importance compared with classic TV, radio and print advertising,“ said Lamborghini. Online advertising market with plus 8% to 139 billion Euro, growth of world-wide turnovers in television advertising will be moderate by comparison. Outgoings for online advertising are above average in Europe and in large parts of Asia. In the European Union the rate of increase is 31%. The forecast is that 9.1 billion Euro will be spent in the countries of the EU in 2008. “The Internet economy in Europe is developing very dynamically and making great strides towards catching the leader, the USA,“ said Lamborghini. But not only Europe is catching up. Turnover in China is increasing particularly strongly, with plus 46% to 1.2 billion Euro. The Japanese market for Internet advertising is forecast to grow by 15% to 3.3 Billion Euro.
