Conclusion
India’s Advertising industry is expected to grow at
a rate of 16.8 per cent year-on-year to Rs 51,365
crore (US$ 7.61 billion) in 2016, buoyed by
positive industry sentiment and a strong GDP
growth of 7 per cent and above.
Online advertising, which was estimated at Rs
2,900 crore (US$ 429.9 million) in 2013, could
jump threefold to Rs 10,000 crore (US$ 1.48
billion) in five years, increasing at a compound
annual rate of 28 per cent.
Of the current Rs 2,750 crore (US$ 407.66
million) digital advertisement market, search and
display contribute the most - search
advertisements constitute 38 per cent of total
advertisement spends followed by display
advertisement at 29 per cent, as per the study.
“India is the fastest growing ad market among
all the major markets of the world. 2015 was
the best year for ad spend growth we’ve had in
the last five years,” said C.V.L. Srinivas, chief
executive at GroupM South Asia.
Consumer product, automobile and e-
commerce companies will continue to drive
growth (as they did in 2015) and telecom,
banking and finance, and the government
sector will join the party, according to Srinivas.
While digital media will remain the fastest
growing platform, India is one of the few large
markets where all traditional media platforms
will show positive growth
The top ten spenders during 2015 were
Hindustan Unilever, Amazon, Procter & Gamble,
Flipkart, Maruti Suzuki, Mondelez, Godrej
Consumer, ITC, Snapdeal and Reckitt Benckiser.
Hindustan Unilever was the largest spender,
with nearly Rs 2,500 crore ad expenditure.
