“Google has been growing its net U.S. ad revenues at a slower rate than the overall digital ad market since 2016, so this year will continue a trend of Google losing digital ad market share in the US," Nicole Perrin, eMarketer principal analyst, said in a July 22 statement.

Google’s share of the digital ad market in the U.S. is also expected to shrink to 29.4 percent from 31.6 percent in 2019, according to eMarketer.
