Digital media will increase its share in total media spending and is forecast to account for over

10% in the near future. Within the digital media landscape, advertising spending for mobile ads

and social media is likely to grow at a higher rate. However, search ads are projected to continue

to dominate the market and grow at steady pace. With the increase in mobile and internet users,

the influence of digital advertising over online media is estimated to increase manifold through

online videos, web-based advertising, search ads and social media. Large companies are likely

to opt for integrated campaigns simultaneously over multiple platforms in future.
