<ul><li>Pandemic resulted in a fall of -21.5% in 2020; industry to see recovery in 2021 with ad investment expected to reach Rs. 80,123 crores.</li><li>Digital was the only medium to witness a gain of USD 27bn globally in 2020.</li></ul>GroupM India today announced their advertising expenditure (adex) forecasts for 2021. As per the GroupM futures report ‘This Year, Next Year’ (TYNY) 2021, India will see a major ad recovery in 2021 given the downfall of ad spends in 2020 due to the pandemic. TYNY forecasts India’s advertising investment to reach an estimated Rs. 80,123 Crores this year. This represents an estimated growth of 23.2%, for the calendar year 2021. India is the 2nd fastest growing market in the top 10 countries and will be the 6th largest contributor to incremental ad spends in 2021 globally. While India was ranked 9th in the global ad spend rank in 2019, it dropped to 10 in 2020 and is likely to regain its 9th rank this year. <div type="image" title="global rank - groupm report" msid="80973320" hostid="261"></div> Commenting on the TYNY 2021 report, Prasanth Kumar, CEO - GroupM South Asia said, “2020 was an unprecedented year. The pandemic impacted across sectors and it, therefore, affected the media investments too. As we are aware, the year that went by had a mixture of lockdowns, many restricted market momentum and overall threw a challenge and impacted multi-industry economies. The ad industry too had its challenges and 2020 witnessed a steep drop in the overall media investments. However, we have witnessed a month-on-month upturn in the industry starting Q3 last year and we are quite optimistic about the revival that 2021 will see. With the gradual easement of the lockdown backed by seasonal spends and big-ticket events like IPL, we expect 2021 to continue to build on that momentum. While the <keyword id="2788212" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Global-Ad-Spends">global ad spends</keyword> are estimated to see a rise of 10% in 2021, digital is expected to take 67% of ad spends. With the help of technology, marketers have adapted to pandemic-proof ways by constantly innovating, staying relevant and offering digitally charged solutions to brands.” Digital was the only medium to witness a gain of USD 27bn globally in 2020. Digital as a media vehicle will continue to skyrocket due to the increase in digital dependency and changing consumer patterns. <div type="image" title="ad spends groupm report 2021" msid="80973443" hostid="261"></div> Tushar Vyas, President - Growth and Transformation, GroupM South Asia said, “2021 will see 90% incremental ad spends on digital globally. The massive switch to digital reliance over the past 1 year has been a major driver for this shift. Brands have been forced to think big and different to transform their businesses, match the newer expectations and overcome the challenges faced. The post-pandemic era will continue to see this upsurge in digital demands. The crisis has brought about a sea change in mindset, adoption, and role of technology in doing business. Brands are seen renewing their business models and are constantly ideating to find better ways to connect with the consumer on a digital tangent.” While COVID-19 resulted in an overall slowdown in the global economy, Indian ad spends will continue to see a month-on-month recovery considering the overall media landscape. Ashwin Padmanabhan, President – Partnerships and Trading of GroupM India said, “Based on a strong foundation built on the back of FMCG and e-commerce, 2021 is expected to see growth across sectors like auto, telecom, consumer durable, retail and education. Manufacturing, which was severely impacted by the pandemic, is now stabilizing and moving toward a positive outlook enabled by automation, technology and supply chain optimization. 2020 has accelerated the adoption of agile, cost-effective business models, which will help brands and marketers offer better products, services and experiences to consumers.” Sidharth Parashar, President-Investments and Pricing ofGroupM India said, “Along with digital, television saw a spike in consumption during the lockdown. With acceptance on the subscription bandwagon increasing, OTT will continue to witness a constructive growth and is likely to develop with more players attracting users by investing in content. Print &amp; Radio expected to be backed by local advertisers and certain categories with marketeers leveraging the brand solutions that these media offer. We expect OOH and cinema to see double-digit growth after a difficult year. Given the uncertainty and cautiously spending consumer, brands are realizing the importance of being present wherever consumers are. Hence along with continued relevance of television &amp; other mass media, we will witness advertisers leveraging relevant platforms to reach out to its audience.” GroupM also shared some of the top watchouts that will shape the Indian consumer &amp; therefore industry in the coming years. The trends presented were around consumer behaviour, sports and e-sports, growth of OTT, connected commerce, the ecosystem of fragmented social media, digital transformation, innovations in audio, etc.

Compiled by <keyword id="89313" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vikram-Sakhuja">Vikram Sakhuja</keyword>, Partner and Group CEO Madison Media &amp; OOH, the report talks about the possible impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the world of advertising. It also has some advices for marketers around how to navigate the uncertain times. The economic impact of the virus S&amp;P had lowered India's 2020 growth forecast from 5.7% to 5.2%. This was before the Covid-19. Ruchir Sharma, a renowned economist pegged the economic impact of Covid-19 as worse than the 2008 financial meltdown and similar to 'The Great Depression of 1930'. He expects World Economy to shrink by 1% and China after a contracted Q1 to grow at 2%. He feels India would be lucky to grow at 2%. Sakhuja in the report said that they have observed broadly that consumption de-growth rate is much higher than GDP de-growth rate. If so, a 3% drop in GDP (from 5% to 2%) could imply a very dramatic drop in consumption! This is affected by a combination of supply chain issues, less cash in hand and overall negative sentiment. This could lead to some significant reductions in sales, which will be sectoral. Categories which will bear the direct brunt are the ones involving social contact. Thus Airlines, Railways, Tourism, Restaurants, Retail, Auto and Live Sport &amp; Entertainment will become casualties. FMCG grew 1% during January 2020, down from 2.4% in the previous year. Urban growth at 0.2%, dragged down the entire segment even as hinterland consumption remained the same at 1.8% (Source: Kantar Worldpanel). “We don't expect Covid-19 to have an incremental adverse effect on FMCG. Here, supply chain issues rather than consumer headwinds are the factor to watch out for,” stated the report. Financial markets are worried that retail loans will have higher defaults. Most financial Institutions could go slow on disbursement of retail loans. This is expected to have negative impact on sales of durables and mobile phones - categories that were fuelled by easy availability of 'Zero Interest EMI’s!’ Real estate and jewellery too would be impacted by sentiment with consumers postponing high value purchases. This assumes that the Covid-19 situation can be brought under control within 4-6 weeks. Consumer behaviour during virus in terms of Media, Purchase and Sentiment TV ratings will go up as people are staying home. The BARC report for the period March 8-14 captured two and a half days of the virus taking hold. The first of the WFH started from Monday, March 16 2020. Even before people were forced to be at home, HSM TV viewership had gone up 4% v/s the earlier week in HSM, and 8% for TN, AP. Within HSM, across TGs, clear increases in viewership in Hindi News, Hindi Movies, Kids, Hindi GEC 2 &amp; English Niche. There was some drop in viewership in Hindi mainline GEC &amp; Sports (expectedly). No significant change in FTA viewership. As the lockdown continues, there’s expected to be a significant increase in TV viewership. However there is a ban on fresh serial production, GEC channels will run out of fresh programming and have started reruns. This may depress high viewership and may cancel some gains of more viewers watching more TV. It will be 3 weeks before we see BARC impact of re-runs. Most channels will be willing to protect CPRPs in case Ratings fall in this period. Digital viewing will also go up. In the week of March 9-15 v/s March 2-8 top 40 online news sites recorded a 23% growth v/s March 2-8 and 31% growth v/s January 6-12. OTT and YouTube will also increase. With increased supply on biddable platforms CPMs will come down. OOH and cinema will fall. Apart from reduced footfalls there are also some cities like Mumbai which came out with a ruling to display only <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus">Coronavirus</keyword> sites that will contract supply. Most events have been cancelled which will have a devastating impact on this sector. Over and above, the visible impact of IPL, another Rs 3,000 crore worth of events are facing cancellation. E-commerce will go up, especially for daily essentials. People may avoid shopping for stuff touched by hand. During this period, consumers can be expected to be less distracted and more mindful of messages and more open to promotions. They will buy what they need rather than desire, and given the uncertainty, will have a tendency to hold on to their money. Talking about payments to media, the report said that Madison has proactively sensitized IBF and INS on delays in payments on 60th day in March. While Media will be understanding, delays needs to be the exception, with good reason provided. Impact on AdEx In its report that it had released in February, Madison had predicted that AdEx in 2020 could increase from 67600 to 74650 (+10.4%) - with a 5% growth in traditional and 28% growth in Digital. However, this was before the Covid-19 outbreak and the media agency said there is a need to review it now. Speaking about the impact of the current situation on AdEx, the report said, “In a state of steady GDP growth (6-8%), AdEx grows about double GDP. When GDP falls, the AdEx falls much more than GDP fall in the next year. Conversely when GDP growth picks up, AdEx growth picks up even more. When we had projected a 10.4% AdEx growth in PMAR 2020, we had assumed a GDP growth of 4-5% till September and 7% beyond that. It is reasonably certain that GDP growth will be lower. If the GDP growth does fall till 2%, we may see an overall shrinking of AdEx by 0-5%.” How sector-wise AdEx will shape up <div type="image" title="Sector wise" msid="74886498" hostid="261"></div>
 Advice for advertisers <ul><li>Invest in staying close to the consumer. Employ listening tools to capture category and brand sentiment.</li><li> The silver lining of this pandemic is that consumers are open to advertising. If you have messages that are relevant for consumers, you should air them. Do not be opportunistic, building trust is more important than short term sales.</li><li> We should aim to get audience assurances on TV deals, and with increased Online Supply of Biddable inventory, CPMs will be low. From an efficiency standpoint it's a good time to advertise.</li><li> Good time for moment marketing. Contextual placement and intelligent re-targeting can work.</li><li> If P&amp;L pressures are forcing a cut in budget, then make active trade-offs rather than merely scaling down plans pro-rata.</li><li> Invest in promoting sales on e-commerce.</li><li> Marketing messaging needs to be authentic, topical, one that builds trust and reassures. In the times of Covid, marketing needs to be controlled and not viral.</li></ul>

<ul><li>While no decision has been made yet by the Government to ban Cryptocurrency platforms and their ads yet, if banned in the ongoing winter session in the parliament, it is likely to have a larger impact on India’s advertising sector.</li><li>Here’s a look back at how much Cryptocurrency platforms contributed to ad revenue pie from January to November 2021, as per TAM AdEx.</li></ul>A <a href="http://loksabhadocs.nic.in/bull2mk/2021/23.11.21.pdf">proposed </a>bill in India indicates that the government is mulling over introducing a facilitative framework for the creation of an official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India. The Bill also seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses. This uncertainty has already caused price declines on the local exchanges and crypto advertisers have decided to take it slow until the next hearing. While Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said that no decision has been taken on banning crypto advertisements, there is a new Bill in the making, which implies there will be stringent policies in place. FM Sitharaman further said that the new Bill will take into account the rapidly changing dimensions in the virtual currency space. She had also mentioned that it will be presented to the Cabinet and introduced in the Parliament during the ongoing winter session. Until the next hearing, crypto platforms have either halted or slowed their advertising activities, which is likely to impact advertising revenue collection. As per exclusive data shared by TAM AdEx with Advertising and Media Insider, there was a spike in cryptocurrency-related digital advertisements by 36 times between Jan to Nov 2021. Due to the festive season and IPL 2021, crypto platforms were at their peak during October. The month of Diwali, which was October this year, nearly had a 30% share of the category and it took a dip by 6% in November 2021, whereas on television, there wasn’t a single ad from Crypto platforms in 2020. In 2021, television has seen 33.4 hours of advertising from Crypto platforms. The festive season proved to be bountiful for television too as October had more than 75% share of Crypto platforms, up from 2% in June and 23% in September. More than 85% of cryptocurrency advertisements were on Sports channels, with the rest appearing on News channels, GEC stations, and Movies channels. Cricket was the most popular genre amongst all, with 84% of <keyword id="6376163" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cryptocurrency-advertising" source="Orion">cryptocurrency advertising</keyword> airing in Y 2021. Ad insertions of cryptocurrency grew from 0.01% share in overall Digital advertising during Jan-Nov'20 to 0.27% in Jan-Nov'21, indicating that the competition is getting intense and there’s a wider consumer base for brands to woo now. Simultaneously, the count of advertisers grew fivefold from 15 in Jan-Nov'20 to 59 in Jan-Nov'21 on digital mediums, revealed TAM AdEx. <keyword id="10245463" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CoinSwitch-Kuber" source="Orion">CoinSwitch Kuber</keyword> had the lion’s share of 44% in digital crypto advertising from Jan to Nov, followed by <keyword id="12656736" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="coinswitch-co" source="Orion">CoinSwitch.Co</keyword> at 18% and <keyword id="6416838" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="coindcx" source="Orion">CoinDCX</keyword> at 18%. <keyword id="6672551" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wazirx" source="Orion">Wazirx</keyword> and Zebpay had 8% and 6% share respectively in digital advertising Between Jan to Oct, CoinSwitch Kuber had the biggest share of 58% on television too, followed by CoinDCX at 36%, Zebpay at 5% and WazirX at 1%. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the meeting conducted on November 13 had reviewed key issues concerning cryptocurrency. He had discussed misleading, non-transparent advertising practices. It was also discussed that unregulated crypto markets should not become avenues for money laundering and terror financing. In the past few months, we have seen a lot of high decibel campaigns from a lot of crypto players including WazirX, CoinSwitch Kuber, CoinDCX, Zebpay to name a few. Many of the platforms have used prominent faces like Ranveer Singh, Kunaal Kapoor Roy, Vishnu Kaushal to woo young consumers. A lot of people have been speaking about the risks of investing in the currency without fully understanding how the crypto ecosystem works. The government’s move therefore could help bring about more transparency and accountability into the ecosystem.
