Our Take:

Ad spend for mobile video in the U.S. will reach $2.62 billion in 2015, according to this VideoInk article’s analysis of an eMarketer report. And by 2019, mobile will account for nearly half of total digital video ad dollars. But mobile video still underperforms when compared to total digital video ad spend. Why is this happening?

In the US, mobile-video ad spend will climb to $2.62 billion in 2015, which would account for more than one-third of the estimated $7.7 billion advertisers are expected to spend on digital video ads this year, according to a new estimate from market research firm eMarketer.
