Television holds the highest share (2016-2017: 37.8%-37.2%) followed by newspaper, which comes second (2016-17: 37.8%-36.9%). The next is a surprise and shocking one –  Internet usage has experienced a considerable increase (2016-17: 12.5%-14.3%). Radio and Cinema occupy a very small space in the year 2016: 3.6% and 0.8% respectively. Magazines are still the preferred choice of people and business owners (2016-17: 1.9%-1.7%).

Now, slowly the number of people using internet increased. This fuelled the widespread usage of digital across the various sectors. Businesses started investing in Internet advertising and the variation on how this changed in India, from 2006-16 is in fact, surprising. As more number of people started making their business decisions online, businesses started adopting digital advertising strategies.

Auto industry’s share is at 10% while Education’s share is at 6% and, rest of the others contribute a share of 11%.

This means social media, video and mobile has been utilizing most of the digital advertising spends or the businesses have emerged more intelligent over time.

Findings

Television will always remain at the top position among the media that influences people and businesses. But, by the year 2020, there could be a variation in this position being replaced by mobile.  More number of people will have access to mobile devices and internet by 2020.
