The Rise of Retail Media Networks in Programmatic Advertising

In 2025, the AdTech world is seeing a major power shift. Brands aren’t just buying media from traditional publishers anymore, they’re turning to retailers themselves. From Amazon and Walmart to niche eCommerce platforms, Retail Media Networks (RMNs) are becoming the fastest-growing segment of programmatic ad spend.

As more retailers step into the role of media owners, we’re witnessing a strategic overlap between commerce, content, and advertising. With access to robust first-party data, retailers are uniquely positioned to serve programmatic ads that are both highly relevant and performance-driven. This evolution is creating new opportunities for adops teams, increasing CPMs, and unlocking untapped ad revenue across multiple CPM device types — from mobile to smart TVs to in-store digital signage.

Why Retail Media Networks Are Exploding

Retailers already know what their customers buy, how often they shop, and what items are frequently bundled. This goldmine of data allows them to offer advertisers unparalleled precision when it comes to targeting and measurement, far beyond what traditional third-party cookies ever could.

At the same time, SSPs are adapting to support these new retail-based marketplaces. They’re integrating inventory pipes into self-serve platforms and giving CPG brands and agencies the tools to run campaigns across web, app, and even connected shelf screens.

What This Means for the Future of AdTech

Retail media is no longer an add-on, it’s becoming a core component of digital strategy. Expect more direct deals between brands and retailers, greater investment in on-site ad units, and enhanced creative formats optimized for conversion.

Publishers should take note, too. The same technologies powering retail media, like dynamic product ads, contextual placement, and AI-driven targeting, are being adapted for wider use across premium web and app environments.

That’s where ad optimization makes a real difference.

DataBeat helps publishers improve performance through clear insights and ongoing testing. It’s not about adding more tools—it’s about making smarter use of the ones you already have.
