In the US alone, affiliate marketing spending is expected to reach $8.2 billion by 2022.
That’s more than triple what it was 10 years earlier.
Furthermore, based on Google Trends data, search interest in “affiliate marketing” is up over 200% since 2015. The consistent upward trend can easily be observed in the image below.

What These Stats Mean for Affiliate Marketers
The numbers are impressive, but what do they mean? For affiliate marketers, those numbers translate to:
One: Opportunity.
And two: Competition.
On the one hand, the numbers show that affiliate marketing has shifted from being a coupon-dominated industry to a serious marketing channel that more and more advertisers and merchants are leveraging.
So, there’s a huge potential to earn more as an affiliate marketer.
On the other hand, the numbers, together with the fact that the interest in affiliate marketing has increased steadily over the past few years, indicate that more and more people will jump at this opportunity.
That’s more competition.
Affiliate marketing is a dynamic industry. New tools and tactics are cropping up all the time – so staying competitive, always ahead of the game, can feel like a daily challenge.
We created the Affiliate Marketing League to help affiliate marketers be better equipped to face that challenge by providing FREE ACCESS to fresh ideas and repeatable marketing case studies that deliver great results.
