India's digital ad spend- the amount of money spent on online ads– is estimated to touch $21 billion in the next five years. This is an almost 2.5 times increase from 2022. With more smartphones, the internet reaching smaller Indian cities, and more social media influencers and content creators becoming active, spending on digital advertising will keep increasing.

  • As small and medium businesses start creating digital ads, reaching local customers becomes easy

In 2022, small and medium businesses made up 30-35% of the total $8 billion India spent on ads. Ad spends of localized businesses grew 255% since 2020. In addition, the following trends were noticed:

  1. Digital versions of TV channels and print publications have seen 2 times to 6 times the number of new advertisers. Main categories included real estate, hospitals, retail stores, local coaching centers, and restaurants.

  2. Small and Medium businesses contribute 36% of overall ad spends, and 30-35% of online ad spends.

  3. Other than the 5 core categories of education, food, fashion, home decor, and medical health, even more regional and hyperlocal categories such as distance education, coaching centers, electronic retail stores etc. have shown consistent digital growth.
