AI-driven search ad spending set to surge to $26 billion by 2029, data shows
By Jaspreet Singh (Reuters) -Spending on AI-powered search advertising is poised to surge to nearly $26 billion by 2029 from just over $1 billion this year in the U.S., driven by rapid adoption of the technology and more sophisticated user targeting, data from Emarketer showed on Wednesday. Companies that rely on traditional keyword-based search ads could experience revenue declines due to the growing popularity of AI search ads, which offer greater convenience and engagement for users, according to the research firm. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Search giants such as Alphabet-owned Google and Microsoft's Bing have added AI capabilities to better compete with chatbots such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity AI, which provide users with direct information without requiring to click through multiple results. Apple is exploring the integration of AI-driven search capabilities into its Safari browser, potentially moving away from its longstanding partnership with Google. The report has come as concerns grew about users increasingly turning to the chatbots for conversational search and AI-powered search results could upend business models of some companies. Online education firm Chegg said in May that it would lay off about 248 employees as it looks to cut costs and streamline operations because students are using AI-powered tools including ChatGPT over traditional edtech platforms. QUOTE "Publishers and other sites are feeling the pain from AI search. As they lose out on traffic, we're seeing publishers lean into subscriptions and paid AI licensing deals to bolster revenue," Emarketer analyst Minda Smiley said. GRAPHIC CONTEXT AI search ad spending is expected to constitute nearly 1% of total search ad spending this year and 13.6% by 2029 in the U.S., according to Emarketer. Sectors such as financial services, technology, telecom, and healthcare are embracing AI as they are seeing clear advantages in using the technology to enhance their ad strategies, while the retail industry's adoption is slow, the report said. Google recently announced the expansion of its AI-powered search capabilities into the consumer packaged goods sector through enhancements in Google Shopping.

Amazon Fresh doubles down on discounts
Amazon Fresh seems to have seized on a simple strategy to bring shoppers into its supermarkets: Charge less than the competition for a broad assortment of foods - and make sure customers know about it. During visits to three of the supermarket chain's locations on the East and West coasts in May, Grocery Dive journalists observed an abundance of bright red low-price signs inside and outside stores. They also found that prices for a number of common, brand name items were sharply lower than what nearby stores charged for identical items. For example, an Amazon Fresh store in Bellevue, Washington, charged $3.49 for an 8-ounce tub of Philadelphia cream cheese when a reporter visited on May 27, while a Kroger-owned QFC across the street asked $4.99 for the same product. The same Amazon Fresh store charged $6.99 for a 12-pack of Pepsi cans, compared with $10.99 for that size package of the soft drink at QFC. Produce prices at Amazon Fresh were also strikingly low. The grocer's store in Alexandria, Virginia, beckoned customers on May 29 with 1-pound packages of strawberries for $1.89 each, while a Giant Food store a five-minute drive away charged $3.79 for the same size package of the popular fruit (or $4.99 for shoppers who don't belong to the Ahold Delhaize banner's loyalty program). The Amazon Fresh location in Gaithersburg, Maryland, was also replete in May with items sporting prices that were below what nearby competitors charged. Amazon Fresh has gone all out to ensure that shoppers know they will find bargains in its stores. The chain's locations that Grocery Dive visited are decked out with signs proclaiming, "Low prices. Every aisle. Every day." Other signs remind shoppers that the bargains are "here to stay." Signs outside point out that shoppers do not need to belong to Amazon Prime to take advantage of the savings - although people can return Amazon packages during their visit. The intense focus on low prices at Amazon Fresh stores of late underscores Amazon's pricing heft. It also reflects an evolving quest by the company to carve a niche for itself in the crowded traditional supermarket space. "As part of our focus on offering customers low, competitive prices to save money every day, we work to meet or beat competitor prices across the vast selection of products in our stores," Amazon spokesperson Molly McWhinnie said in an emailed statement. Nearly three years after opening its first Amazon Fresh store in August 2020, Amazon paused the chain's expansion after concluding that its initial approach was not resonating with shoppers. Less than a year later, it unveiled a new store design with updated signage and a larger array of products. While Amazon formerly used its Fresh stores as showcases for its Just Walk Out automated checkout technology, it has since taken that gear out and shifted its focus to its Dash Cart smart carts.
