India's video market is set to grow at 9.5% CAGR in the next five years

India’s TV channel business, which stands at $5 billion in 2021, is poised to $18 bn in revenue opportunity in the next 5 years. According to Media Partners Asia, the size of India’s total video market currently stands at $11.6 billion. Growth in future subscription revenues however will come largely from online video.

So as these players across various buckets of AVOD services build scale, the market for online video advertising will continue to expand and grow at 16.5% CAGR or about 2.5x GDP growth over next five years. On the SVOD side, subsidised telco bundles as well as growing investments in local original content have opened up the subscription market opportunity. "By 2026, India will have more than 200 million direct SVOD subscriptions or let’ say 1 in every 4 broadban
