Adverting Prospects in India

According to a report released by McKinsey, the online advertising market in India will touch Rs 3,575 crore (578.13 million) by March 2015, a 30 per cent rise from Rs 2,750 crore (US$ 444.72 million) in March 2014, as per a joint study by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and IMRB International. Of the current Rs 2,750 crore (US$ 444.72 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.

The advertising and marketing sector in India is expected to enjoy a good run. Growth is expected in retail advertisement, on the back of factors such as several players entering the food and beverages segment, e-commerce gaining more popularity in the country, and domestic companies testing out the waters. The rural region is a potentially profitable target. For instance, in the automobiles sector, the focus of two-wheelers on rural areas could mean more launches and more advertising spends. The telecom sector could see growth as well, driven by better smartphone penetration and service providers cutting down on prices. With the growth of this sector, the demand for Accounts Director (Advertising Agency) will also increase.
