Advertisers see AI automation as next growth driver

New research from TikTok, in partnership with NewtonX, reveals a significant gap between advertisers’ ambitions for AI automation and its actual implementation. The study shows that 93% of advertisers and executives expect AI-driven automation to help drive future business growth, and 96% believe it will improve their own job performance.

However, only 18% have fully integrated AI into their core operations and invested at scale [1]. Advertisers still face a number of implementation challenges, with data privacy and compliance, a lack of in-house skills and the speed of AI innovation all cited as hurdles to adoption.

Despite this gap, expectations are high. With 62% predicting automation could halve departmental costs and 84% expecting to see returns within a year.

Despite slow adoption for full integration of AI Automation, 78% of executives surveyed are growing their focus on automation through AI initiatives and increasing investment in AI capabilities, but they need support to move from piecemeal strategies to a cohesive, self-powering engine of productivity.

TikTok is the AI automation partner of choice for advertisers
Marketers are under pressure. An overwhelming majority of CMOs globally (87%) have experienced campaign performance issues in the last year and almost half were forced to terminate campaigns early due to poor results [2]. It’s more important than ever to innovate creative and marketing strategies.

TikTok is emerging as a leader in AI automation, with more than half (51%) of advertisers ranking it the number one platform for advanced automation in marketing.

93% of advertisers say TikTok’s AI-powered features help them move faster and adapt at the speed of culture, while 96% expect to increase their use of TikTok’s automation tools over the next six months.

Shadi Kandil, General Manager, Global Business Solutions, Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Central and South Asia – TikTok, says:Β β€œAI Automation is becoming essential for marketers striving to stay ahead. With Smart+ and Symphony, we’re helping brands reach the right people, create culturally relevant content at scale, and maximize performance with less effort. By removing operational complexity, we’re enabling advertisers to focus on strategy and creativity that fuels growth.”

Samsung Galaxy S26 may escape 2026 smartphone market dip

Smartphone shipments may decline in 2026, yet the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to escape the dip.

In a recent development, analysts at Counterpoint Research have revised their shipment estimates for the 2026 smartphone market. It’s reported that the bill of materials costs would see a steep hike of up to 30 percent.

Apple and Samsung are best positioned to weather the next few quarters. Other vendors, mainly Chinese phone makers, will find it difficult to escape as they don’t have as much wiggle room to manage market share versus profit margins.

Prices of memory could continue to rise, and a 40 percent increase is expected through Q2 2026. This factor alone has the potential to negatively impact the BoM costs between 8% and over 15% above current elevated levels.

It’s going to hit the worldwide smartphone market in terms of shipments, phone makers with increased BoM costs, and even consumers who may need to spend more on their next purchase in 2026 and the years ahead.

Specifically, the BoM hike would hurt mid-range and budget phones way more than premium ones. Samsung is likely to avoid the worst for its Galaxy S26 series, which is slated to launch by the end of February next year.

β€œWhat we are seeing now is the low end of the market (below $200) being impacted most severely, with BoM (bill of materials) costs increasing by 20%-30% since the beginning of the year,” said Research Director MS Hwang. β€œThe market’s mid- and high-end segments have seen 10%-15% price increases.”

Counterpoint Research has also revised the average selling prices (ASPs) to increase by 6.9 percent in 2026. Researchers earlier predicted 3.9 percent in their previous ASP forecast released in September 2025.

β€œIn the lower price bands, steep price increases on smartphones are not sustainable,” said Senior Analyst Yang Wang. β€œAnd if cost pass-through isn’t possible, OEMs will start pruning parts of their portfolios – that’s actually what we are starting to see with significantly reduced volumes of low-end SKUs.”
