This report looks at the companies helping retailers — like Walmart and Albertsons — build retail media networks.
Advertisers are increasing their retail media ad spending as e-commerce adoption grows and consumer data privacy comes into focus — creating a multi-billion dollar opportunity for retailers rich with first-party data.

CB Insights identified 130+ companies addressing 14 technology priorities, from demand-side platforms to consumer data privacy, that retailers building media networks face. The purpose of the analysis is to provide technology buyers with an overview of the technology landscape and its market participants.
