Implementation and integration services represented 34.21% of service revenue in 2025, while privacy-safe analytics, measurement and attribution services are projected to grow at a 22.84% CAGR from 2026 to 2031.[60]
- Key players & concentration
- The competitive landscape includes cloud providers and advertising platforms such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Snowflake and LiveRamp, alongside specialist vendors including InfoSum, Habu, Decentriq and Optable. Forrester’s 2024 landscape identified 16 vendors and agencies, indicating a fragmented market rather than a small group with publicly disclosed dominant shares.[10][62]
- Trends, drivers & challenges
- Privacy regulation, third-party-identifier decline, retail-media growth and demand for closed-loop measurement are major adoption drivers. In a 2025 retail-media survey, 41% identified integration with existing optimization and analysis practices as a leading challenge, while IAB Europe reported that 68% cited cross-platform data access as a top challenge.[40][59]
- Consumer behavior & competition
- Data clean rooms are primarily used for audience targeting, campaign planning, measurement and attribution rather than direct consumer-facing products. IAB Europe found that 51% of surveyed organizations were adopting or testing clean rooms in 2025, while a Digiday survey found that 64% of publishers collaborated with advertisers through clean rooms and 34% used them to build and target audiences.[59][63]
- M&A
- M&A is consolidating data-collaboration capabilities within larger marketing and identity platforms. WPP acquired InfoSum in April 2025 for £108 million in cash, while LiveRamp announced its approximately $200 million acquisition of data-clean-room provider Habu in January 2024.[64][20]
- Regulation
- Clean rooms do not remove the need to comply with privacy law; deployments must address consent, purpose limitation, data minimization, access controls and jurisdictional requirements under frameworks such as the EU GDPR and U.S. state privacy laws including the CCPA. The IAB Tech Lab’s 2023 guidance provides common principles and recommended practices but explicitly states that using a clean room does not itself guarantee legal compliance.[62][65]
- Latest news
- In April 2025, WPP completed its acquisition of InfoSum and integrated the platform into its data and AI offering. In 2026, IAB Australia published a commerce-specific clean-room framework developed with contributors from five markets, reflecting the category’s shift toward operational standards and retail-media use cases.[64][66]

03 Trends & forecasts
Top 10 Data Clean Room Industry Trends & Forecasts 2027
What is changing in the data clean room industry, with the evidence behind each trend and a forecast for 2027.
Forecasts were generated by an AI model from the cited evidence. They are estimates, not guarantees.
01Market growth remains above 16%
High confidenceThe global data clean-room display market was valued at $2.15 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $2.52 billion in 2026. The same forecast puts the market at $4.71 billion by 2030, implying a 16.9% CAGR from 2026 to 2030.[47]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, revenue should continue expanding at roughly the mid-to-high teens, supported by adoption in advertising, retail media and measurement. A plausible market size is approximately $2.9 billion, assuming the cited forecast trajectory holds.
02Clean-room adoption moves into the mainstream
High confidenceIAB Europe reported in 2025 that 51% of surveyed organizations were adopting or testing data clean rooms, tying them with unified ID solutions as the most adopted addressability technologies. The survey covered more than 79 advertisers, agencies, publishers and technology providers across more than 27 European markets.[59]
Forecast 2027: By 2027, clean rooms should become a standard consideration in large advertisers’ and publishers’ measurement stacks, although full production deployment will remain below testing and pilot rates. Adoption is likely to pass 55% in comparable industry surveys.
03Retail media becomes the leading use case
High confidenceThe 2025 State of Data Clean Rooms in Retail Media found that 66% of organizations were using clean rooms in some form. The survey identified integration with existing optimization and analysis practices as the leading challenge, cited by 41% of respondents.[40]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, retail media networks should remain the fastest-growing demand center because clean rooms support audience overlap, targeting, attribution and closed-loop sales measurement. Spending will shift from pilots toward repeatable retailer-brand workflows and packaged measurement services.
04Measurement shifts toward incrementality
High confidenceThe IAB Australia-led 2026 commerce framework lists attribution, outcome measurement, incrementality, reach and frequency, and customer-journey analysis among the principal clean-room-enhanced use cases. Google also expanded access to lower-spend incrementality testing and cross-channel measurement tools in 2025.[66][70]
Forecast 2027: By 2027, buyers will place greater emphasis on causal measurement and incrementality rather than platform-reported attribution alone. Clean-room vendors will increasingly bundle experiment design, lift analysis and marketing-mix-model calibration with data collaboration.
05Cross-platform data access stays difficult
High confidenceIAB Europe reported that 68% of respondents identified cross-platform data access as their top addressability challenge in 2025. Privacy regulations were cited by 58%, while cookie and signal loss was cited by 48%.[59]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, interoperability will remain a central buying criterion, but platform-specific restrictions will continue to limit universal measurement. Vendors that connect clouds, warehouses, walled gardens and retail-media platforms without moving raw data should gain share.
06Standards become more commercially important
High confidenceIAB Europe identified inconsistent frameworks and fragmented practices as an urgent industry need in 2025. The 2026 IAB commerce framework was developed with contributors from five markets and provides common guidance on use cases, operational requirements and governance.[59][66]
Forecast 2027: By 2027, standards will increasingly influence procurement, partner onboarding and measurement accreditation. They are unlikely to eliminate fragmentation, but common definitions, APIs and output conventions should reduce implementation time and improve comparability across platforms.
07Regulatory scrutiny limits privacy claims
High confidenceThe U.S. Federal Trade Commission stated in 2024 that data clean rooms do not automatically prevent unlawful disclosure or use of consumer data and that privacy-enhancing technology does not remove companies’ legal obligations. The FTC also warned that some clean-room implementations may present privacy risks similar to other data-sharing methods.[71]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, buyers will demand stronger consent records, purpose limitation, access controls, audit trails and jurisdictional controls. Marketing claims such as “privacy-safe by default” will face more legal and procurement scrutiny unless supported by documented governance.
08First-party data becomes the primary input
High confidenceGoogle’s Ads Data Hub allows advertisers to join first-party data with aggregated Google campaign data while restricting access to underlying user-level records. Google’s 2025 measurement guidance also emphasized first-party data foundations, CRM connections and privacy-preserving signals.[72][73]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, clean-room demand will be increasingly tied to CRM, loyalty, transaction, app and offline-conversion data rather than third-party audience files. Data quality, consent provenance and match-rate management will become decisive differentiators between deployments.
09Cloud and walled-garden rooms dominate supply
High confidenceGoogle Ads Data Hub supports first-party joins with Google event-level campaign data and can host customer data in Australia, Europe, Japan and the United States. LiveRamp described its Habu acquisition as a way to connect data across clouds, warehouses and walled gardens.[72][20]
Forecast 2027: By 2027, most enterprise deployments will use a combination of cloud-native rooms and platform-specific clean rooms rather than a single independent environment. Independent vendors will compete mainly on orchestration, interoperability and governance across those environments.
10AI becomes embedded in clean-room workflows
Medium confidenceWPP said its acquisition of InfoSum would support federated learning, custom AI models and privacy-preserving connections across its data network. WPP’s 2025 annual report said its InfoSum-powered data layer connected trillions of live data points in a privacy-first environment.[64]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, AI will be used more often for query generation, audience discovery, anomaly detection, propensity modeling and campaign optimization inside governed environments. The strongest commercial systems will combine AI with strict output controls rather than expose row-level data to general-purpose models.
