It estimates '''click-to-message (CTM) ads are approaching $15-20 billion run rate while WhatsApp ads could bring in additional $10 billion over many years'''. They estimate additional subscriptions and fees could bring in another $10 billion, creating total messaging monetization opportunity of $40-$50 billion by 2030.
