In 2010, $1.6 billion was spent on affiliate marketing in the US alone. That total increased to $4.8 billion in 2016, showing obvious and significant industry growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone thought that the affiliate marketing industry hit its peak when it reached $5.4 billion in 2017, but the continuing increase in yearly marketing spending proved us wrong. In 2019, affiliate marketing became one of the most successful marketing strategies ever by reaching the amazing $6.4 billion mark in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These numbers are expected to reach another record high next year.
