    Executive Summary

    The purpose of this report is to take a deep-dive into the online advertising market in India closely tracking the way in

    which the Indian online ad Industry has evolved. For more than four consecutive years now, we have continuously

    expanded the coverage of the report to include the newer ways of advertising through the Internet, such as social media

    and mobile Internet.

    Based on our analysis, the online advertising market in India was valued at INR 1,750 Crores in FY 2011-2012 of which,

    search advertising accounted for INR 718 Crores, clocking a growth of 46% y-o-y from our last years report. Display

    advertising contributed another INR 595 Crores to the overall figure, contunuing to dominate the online advertising

    market along with search with a combined share of 75%.

    The online advertising market in FY 2012-2013 has grown to reach INR 2260 crores, which represents a y-o-y growth of

    29%. The share of advertising on mobile and social media is expected to go up whereas spending on display and email will

    decline due to this shift.

    The top four big spenders on online advertising for FY 2011-2012 continue to be BFSI, Auto, Telecom and Travel athough

    eCommerce players spent significant amounts of money on customer acquision in FY 2012-2013.

    Even though traditional media like television and newspapers still remain the preferred media for seeking information and

    entertainment and hog more than 80% of the advertising market in India, the Internet has been steadily increasing its

    share of the advertising pie. Spends on digital media have steadily increased from just over 1 percent of total Indian

    advertising spend in the year 2005 to nearly 7 % in 2012. (Source: This Year, Next year-Worldwide media & marketing

    4. Types of Digital Ad Avenues & Growth

    Display and search ads are the dominant online ad types today in India. Display and search advertising continue to

    dominate the market but other ad types are showing explosive growth albeit on a lower base. Spends on mobileadvertising have doubled from INR 115 crore in FY 2011-12 to INR 230 crore in FY 2012-13, primary reasons being the

    proliferation of mobile phones in India, enhanced mobile Internet connectivity and increased need for customer

    engagement.

    Spends on social media and video advertising also show 71% growth y-o-y. The graph below highlights the growth in the

    various online ad types over the last three financial years.

    6. Search Ads: SEO vs. SEM Spends

    Search advertising constitutes about 40% of the online advertising market

    and is an important component of marketing campaigns aimed at customer

    acquisition. Companies belonging to various verticals continue to invest in

    search advertising owing to its cost effectiveness. As seen in the adjacent

    graph, SEM i.e. buying or bidding for Adwords forms the majority of Search

    ad budget. About 85% of search spend is in terms of SEM which is about

    INR 723 Crores, as compared to INR 128 Crores for SEO.

    7. Display Ads: Spends as per Tech Format

    Online Display advertising has matured considerably with the creatives

    increasingly becoming more sophisticated and engaging. Long a staple of

    brand advertising campaigns, various technologies are used to developdisplay ads in the form of web banners containing images, flash objects or

    interactive media using audio or video. The images can be static or

    dynamic. In terms of Technology Formats, Display Ads are categorized as

    follows -

    Image (GIF/JPEG) Simple Flash Rich media without video Rich media with video

    As seen in Figure 11, display ads using Simple Flash and Rich Media without

    video form a major chunk online display advertisements, each of them

    contributing 30% to the total online display advertising spend. Standard

    Images (JPEG & GIF) and Rich Media with video contribute to another 40%

    of the pie. Usage of rich media with video is expected to grow as we

    8. Mobile Ads: Spends as per Ad type

    Fun, exciting and a newest interactive advertising medium, mobile advertising is a form of advertising on mobile (wireless)phones or other mobile devices. The Internet has been reinvented on mobile devices becoming smaller, more personal,

    customizable, and accessible anywhere on the go. Traditional forms of interactive advertising are therefore now in the

    process of evolving as they migrate from computers to mobile devices.

    Mobile advertising includes a broad range of opportunities such as search, banner displays, messaging, multimedia

    messaging, video and advertising within apps. Mobile web advertising through banners and in-app advertising constitute

    about 80% of the mobile advertising market. Currently, the most trending form of mobile advertising is display, with

    standard JPEG & GIF images, Simple Flash and Rich media without video. Rich media with video is gradually ramping up in

    the mobile advertising industry, allowing advertisers to run videos on a mobile web page or within a mobile application

    referred to as in-app. Other forms of advertising include MMS (multimedia messaging) i.e. mobile advertising that involves

    audio visuals, advertising within mobile gaming apps, videos and mobile TV. MMS mobile advertising is commonly usedwhen consumers use tele-booking facilities.

    A trending form of mobile display is to include the use of rich media within the banner ads. This includes banners that have

    the capabilities to expand, offering advertisers a larger space to communicate their message. Games can also be placed

    within a banner to make the users experience more interactive and engaging.

    According to this edition of IMRB Internationals primary survey findings, the mobile advertising market is distributed

    among the following types of mobile advertisements

    Mobile Web Advertising SMS Advertising MMS Advertising Mobile Video & TV Advertising In-App Advertising

    As seen in Figure 12, the advertising viewed on

    mobile browsers or WAP forms 40% of the total

    mobile ad spends and mobile video & TV together

    with SMS and MMS advertising form another 20%.

    The remaining 40%, which is INR 92 Crores, is

    estimated to be spent on In-App Advertising, which is

    a premium form of mobile advertising especially on

    high-end devices like Apples iPad.

    All mobile advertising spends add up to of INR 230

    Crores in FY 2012-2013.

    9. Form Factor Comparison: Mobile phones vs. Personal computers

    Figure 13: Internet Traffic from Devices (FY 2012-13)

    Interestingly, mobile traffic is growing so fast globally

    that it is expected to surpass the desktop traffic in just a

    couple of years. From our outlook the primary drivers for

    such a ramped up growth are: continued surge in mobile

    Internet-ready devices such as smart phones, feature

    rich phones, and tablets; mobile devices with smarter

    technology, high mobile network speed, increased

    video-content consumption and last but not least, the

    high availability of rich media and more engaging apps in

    the marketplace.

    Source: IMRB International

    Figure 13 above shows the proportion of the Internet Traffic coming from the two different form factors in FY 2012-13.

    A majority of the stakeholders of the Digital Advertising Industry are now closely tracking their online traffic for the device

    its originating from. Although a major chunk i.e. 84% of the internet traffic still comes from the personal computers -

    laptops, net books & desktops, the percentage of traffic coming from mobile phones and tablets is increasing steadily.

    Traffic from mobile devices grew from being 10% of the total Internet traffic in FY 2011-12 to 16 % in FY 2012-2013.

    Mobile phones have provided advertisers a novel way to target affluent consumers, mainly through in-app advertising on

    expensive brands of smart phones. Since its possible to capture data points such as device type, brand and model as well

    as location of the user combined with the time of day, mobile advertising is emerging as the preferred performance

    marketing channel.

    10. Social Media Advertising

    Judging by the spike in spends on social media advertising from FY 2011-12 to FY 2012-13, it can be safely concluded that

    2012 will be remembered as the year companies in India officially took the social media plunge, embracing Twitter,

    Facebook and advertising on social networking sites as an integral and crucial part of their marketing plans.

    In 2013, these companies are expected to look forward and expand their investment in social media as understanding of

    the medium deepens and functionality extends beyond just marketing and community building. One of the major benefits

    of advertising on a social networking site (e.g. Facebook, Myspace, Friendster, Bebo, Orkut, etc.) is that advertisers can

    take advantage of the users demographic information and target their ads appropriately.

    Social media has been the topic of many marketing conversations of late, and theres no doubt that its popularity will

    continue to soar in 2013 and in subsequent years. Social networking has changed the balance of power between customers

    and businesses and forces more accountability and transparency into the relationship. Just a few negative comments

    posted on a social media website about a particualr brand influences consumers negatively about the brand and makes

    them uncertain about buying that brand.

    Businesses today are increasingly aware of the fact that just monitoring their social media profiles and communities is no

    longer enough; instead they need to embrace it and make it an integral part of their strategy. Only then they would be able

    to truly establish a connect with the customer. Social media provides brands the unique opportunity to embed

    themseleves into the lives of the consumers, deeply understanding their buying behaviour and preferences and thereby,

    influencing their buying decisions.

    The four main categories of social media advertising tracked in our report are:

    Text Links Display (includes Stamp Ads) Video Sponsered/Promoted Tweets & posts

    10.1 Social Media Ads: Spends as per Ad type

    Figure 14: Social Media Ad spends (FY2012-13) INR 300 Crores

    We estimate the total social media spend in India to be an

    estimated INR 300 Crores in FY 2012-13. Display

    advertising captures a huge 75% of the pie, followed by

    text links, sponsored/promoted tweets & posts and video

    constituting 5%, 12% and 8%, respectively.

    Social media spend has nearly doubled in last 2 years.

    Youtube/video sharing sites are growth areas where

    advertisers would further increase their spends in FY 2013-

    2014. They would do this by developing video content for

    various social media websites.

    Source: IMRB International

    11. Video Ads: Spends as per Ad type

    One of the main reasons of online advertising revenues soaring high is because more and more people are watching videos

    online and the people who provide this video content are increasingly bundling it with forced view (pre-rolls, mid-rolls and

    post-rolls) advertisements.Interestingly, this forced viewing has worked and it has also made viewers accustomed to the

    fact that if they want to view content for free, viewing ads is the price they have to pay for it, much like television.

    Figure 15: Video Ad spends (FY2012-13) INR 150 Crores

    The video advertising market is currently divided into

    three main types of video ads:

    In-Video Ads (expandables and overlays) Standard In-Stream Ads (pre, mid & post rolls) True View Ads by Google*

    As shown Figure 15, the overall video ad spends in India

    in FY 2012-2013 was about INR 150 Crores, of which 64%

    went to in-stream ads while 24% went into in-videooverlays. The share of True View ads by Google is

    expected to increase largely owing to dominant position

    of You Tube in the video space.

    Source: IMRB International

    *TrueView video ads give viewers choice and control over which ad they watch so advertisers are charged only when a

    viewer has chosen to watch their ad. (http://www.google.co.in/ads/innovations/trueview.html)

    12. Ad Conversion Ratio

    With greater bandwidth availability, advertisers today are trying to make advertisements that are interactive and engaging

    in an effort to drive clicks and conversions.

    Since the entire industry is becoming more performance and ROI driven, it becomes mandatory for businesses to measure

    the conversion rates and analyze the consumer behavior better. Below shown are the conversion ratios of various ad types

    according to the findings of IMRB Internationals syndicated study: I-Cube 2012. Figure 16 below shows the post ad

    viewing behavior. Emails, mobile and social media ads show very high view to click ratio (more than 60%).

    Figure 16: Ad Conversion Ratio (FY2012)

    Source: IMRB International

    As per the findings, 67% of individuals that saw an email ad, clicked on it and 66% of those who saw an ad on a social

    media website clicked on it. The Click to Seen ratio for In-Streaming Video ads have increased from 38% in last year to

    43% in FY 2012.

    Post click behavior also tells an interesting story, with emails and social media advertising showing the highest conversion

    from click to look for information online (81% in both cases). Mobile ads have the highest Search to Bought ratio (75%),

    although it is difficult to say so conclusively owing to small base. This is followed by the social media ads where 64% of

    people who looked for specific information on a product have in the end bought that product.

    13. Attitudes towards Online Advertising

    In terms of the attitudes of Internet users to online advertisements, there emerge some interesting points. 50% of

    respondents felt that online ads were informative., while 46% said that they clicked on ads that were relevant to them, and

    46% felt that online ads helped them find the right product that they were searching for.

    Figure 17: Attitude of Internet Users towards Online Advertising

    Source: IMRB International

    Quite interestingly, 41% of respondents agreed that online ads had an impact on their buying decisions, while nearly 50%

    found online ads interesting. This goes to show that if advertisers are present compelling ad content that the online

    audience finds relevant to them, there is a sizeable chance of positively influencing buying behaviour and even driving a

    sales conversion.
