Newspapers & consumer magazines: This segment witnessed a decline as per the report. In 2020, print advertising revenue fell by 12.0% and print circulation revenue was down by 4.0%, mainly due to the pandemic. Digital magazine circulation and advertising revenue are set to increase between 2020 and 2025 from just INR 231 Cr to INR 358 Cr at a CAGR of 9.5%.
Cinema: Box-office revenues plunged by 75% year-on-year in a COVID-hit 2020 to INR 2652 Cr. Local producers turned to digital streaming to make up for the shortfall. The overall segment comprising box-office and cinema advertising is predicted to grow back to the pre-COVID level by mid of 2023.
OTT: With the COVID-19 pandemic, movie providers turned to a form of TVOD, premium video-on-demand (PVOD), to fulfill their title launch schedules. Overall, the OTT ad revenue will grow by 10% in 2020-25 CAGR.
From the other media channels, Music, Radio & Podcasts (19.1%) and Video games + e-sports (31.6%) will contribute significantly to the advertising revenue spike in India.
Werner Ballhaus, Global Entertainment & Media Industry Leader Partner, PwC Germany, said, “Even in the areas that offer the most compelling topline growth – like video streaming – the nature of competition is likely to change dramatically over the coming years. And all the while, the social, political, and regulatory context in which all companies operate continues to evolve in unpredictable ways. All of which means that sitting still, relying on the strategies that created value and locked up market share in the past, will not be the most effective posture going forward.”
