* Networks may snap up contracts and work with the publishers on an exclusive basis to enjoy more benefits.

* Re-marketing and re-targeting will go mainstream for the performance sector. However, voucher and coupon codes will still remain critical and strong.

* More relationships will go in-house since advertisers and agencies will take the cream of the affiliate base. The networks may run a risk of becoming facilitators of relationships.

* Affiliate marketing will become integrated into a less isolated and wider sector. Performance Marketing is more likely the way it would be described.

* Continued innovation and consolidation in the industry, going main stream and other innovations will affect its performance.

* Mobile commerce applications would be on a rise. E commerce would be a very strong player in the affiliate marketing industry.

* It is expected that mobile affiliate networks would be a separate niche segment of its own because of the constant growth of mobile commerce. The networks will allow advertisers and publishers to increase their online presence and enhance revenue generation by using the mobile market.
