1. Transit Media to Account for 45% of the Indian Advertising Market by
2016
Driven by the booming services sector and the modernization of the transport system, the transit
media advertising market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22% during 2013-2016.
IMARC Group, one of the world’s leading research and advisory firms, finds that the total market
for transit advertising in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22% during 2013-2016.
Findings from its latest report entitled “Indian Advertising Market Report & Forecast (2012-
2016)” suggests that the total share of transit media in the Indian advertising market is expected
to increase from around 33% in 2012 to around 45% by 2016.
According to the report, recent years have witnessed improvements and modernization of the
Indian public transport systems such as metro rail, low floor/AC buses, etc. In the coming years,
new modes of public transport such as mono rail are also likely to appear in the Indian cities.
These developments would lead to the creation of more advertising space. Taking into
consideration the amount of time a person spends on travelling everyday in course of his job,
business, profession, socializing or entertainment, this medium of advertising is full of growth
potential. The central as well as many state governments are planning to either introduce metro
rail service or to expand existing networks in various cities in the coming years and these
measures are expected to give a big boost to transit advertising.
Apart from the modernization of transport, the booming services sector is also expected to be a
major catalyst in driving the growth of the transit media advertising market in India. The services
sector currently accounts for a bulk (approx 55%) of the Indian economy. This sector has been
growing rapidly and is expected to further expand in the coming years. This would propel growth
in the movement of people, both within and between cities and keep on adding to the visibility of
transit advertising. It is but natural that advertisers would increasingly prefer this medium of
advertising to showcase and highlight their products at airports, bus stops, railway platforms,
etc.
