Yet, as persecution of eyes on social media, it is becoming more expensive and with constantly decreasing revenues advertisers are gradually pouring money for advertising on connected TVs.
While the cost of digital advertising spots may vary wildly according to the advertisers, size, range and how much supplies they buy, generally 10-20 seconds on the interconnected TV can be up to three times the cost of advertising on Instagram and many times higher than the ocean displaying advertising on open internet. Obviously, the CTV is appropriately premium and fees, but in post-pandemic years the cost of advertising on Instagram and YouTube in India grew every year between 15-25% of electronic trading and direct consumer brand.
CTV ads offer several things that social media are not so easily – the chance to show on a large screen, a more lucrative user base and a higher chance that your ad will be absorbed with some attention.
YouTube uses the same set of tools to monitor user data on your mobile and television ads, as well as competing streaming and OTT platforms. But others sell connected TV ads – first -class TV creators – use different tools to harvest user data. These include the buyer of television devices to log in by e -mail during the settings and collect additional data when purchasing a TV file. In addition, front advertising platforms, such as Samsung ads, also use pixels – a piece of code built into their advertising platform – that monitor user data over the Internet, assign it with user data collected by CTV and display relevant ads.
There is only one problem: it is difficult to convert on CTV advertisements.
CTV campaigns, such as middle role ads on YouTube or OTT platforms and increasingly on free (fast) television content, are ideal for building awareness. But brand marketing campaigns are almost generally considered as an amorphous marketing form and it is harder to measure, especially when conducting results, such as clicking on the brand’s website, downloading the application or tracking the content of another publisher.
However, the leaders in this new but rapidly growing advertising medium acknowledge. Now they create several types of AD inventory designed for the bottom of the funnel.
Ride action
Consider YouTube that dominates content consumption of connected TVs in India. This month, Brandcast for YouTube advertisers has introduced new types of stocks for connected television advertising. This includes shopping mastheads – banners at the top of the page – somewhat Mastheads that take over the screen, and other types of shopping advertising spots built into videos on YouTube on CTV. Advertisers can also buy and focus on the urban and rural audiences independently on CTV, which is a key accessory when the festive season is kicking.
“I would like to think about it as a market creation phase,” said SHUBHA PAI, head of the brand’s brand in Google India, in an interview of Mint. “There is an OEM event (manufacturers of original equipment or television sets) and we all have a long way. The total number of intelligent TVs is still growing for richer and urban users, so there is a huge audience base that cannot be unlocked.”
Still, the CTV is an attractive medium because it crosses the cord more houses and switch to streaming. In addition, CTV publishers can develop brands and agencies with some urgency because advertising is declining quickly or “linear” television.
Increasing tide
In 2024, connected television houses increased to 30 million, out of 23 million in the previous year, according to the report of the Federation of Indian Chamber of Indian and Industrial Chambers (FICCI) and consulting firm EY. Yet the revenue from television advertising for a year dropped by 20%year -on -year, which means that the traditional television viewer is moving instead to its mobile phone or smart television. In addition, compared to conventional TVs, advertising campaigns on connected TVs may be more focused and come up with better assignments. Ficci and Ey predict India by 2030 by 2030 over 70 million CTV households. The recent steep reduction of tax on goods and services (GST) on TV is likely to support the sale of intelligent television this year. Linear television connections are expected to drop by 7.5%by 2027, but will still be before CTV at 148 million houses before the CTV.
“Reach for CTV is Now Coming From Tier-II and Tier-III Towns, Where Richer Customers Are Keen on Bigger and Better TV Screens,” Russhabh R. Thakkar, Founder and Ceo of Supply-Side Platform and Adtech Frodoh Pointing Out That Affluent Families in Smaller Cities Are Willing To Invest in Larger Than Average Pricey of UP to 65-75 inches.
All about the conversion
What will take to transform the CTV from Top-Funnel, channel awareness only for a brand into a channel that can drive results? The need for hours is more innovative inventory of advertising that can convert what works on mobile phones to a large screen.
YouTube already dominates digital video advertising and leads the market on the connected television. Yet, according to the Ficci-Ey report above, only about 9% of all time spent on the platform in India through CTV-stale dominates the phone consumption of mobile. The mobile screen is easier to start advertising, but YouTube also wants to make it easier to connect TVs.
“We want every surface to be purchased,” said Google India Mind. YouTube launched QR (QR Response) codes to encourage ads clicking rates, for example, directing users for download or web. Rival Jiohotstar was also followed by QR codes in advertisements playing in living streams and other sports.
Innovations like this are essential because viewers will forgive more advertising on TV screen than on their mobile phones. “Compared to mobile phones, the average rates on advertising are much higher on television,” Frodoh’s Thakkar said. “It’s because we have been brought up to expect long advertising on television content. This behavior is rooted in us as spectators.”
In fact, he added that for some premium brands, such as Jeep and Lenskart, viewers are more willing to click on the ad and watch, even on connected TVs. Pai YouTube also quoted Korean car manufacturer Kia as an example of a successful conversion campaign on the platform, where viewers who saw advertising on a large screen, click and registered for the test units of the latest Kia.
Gap
Now, as retail media, advertising on fast trading platforms and electronic trading slowly eats in older forms of digital advertising, YouTube is trying to bridge the gap between mobile and television.
This year he will double his vertical shorts on YouTube on a connected television. While shorts have been available on CTV for some time, ads are running differently from common horizontal videos. In addition to the vertical video records among the endless stream of shorts, advertisers can also put shopping links to a vertical video. These are conversion ads that redirect viewers to brands and products that can already appear in a vertical video. In this way, Shorts YouTube tries to bridge the gap between influential/affiliate marketing and performance marketing, similar to Instagram reels.
In addition, OEM manufacturers such as Samsung and LG are growing on their own TV on their own platforms, synding more content and offering additional advertising. However, a lot of this fast content is still limited to free television news channels, older films and some general entertainment from around the world. Experts in the field say that fast television suppliers are more interested in the speed of filling than to improve the type of stock AD they offer.
Perhaps everyone in the CTV business can take allusions from the “old” television, which is in a hurry to change. Some ancient innovations-for example, a countdown timer will end up with an advertisement-the relics of the golden age of television films and soaps. However, as Frodoh’s Thakkar claims, these were allusions that attracted advertisers and made them pay more to place their ads as possible as possible until the last 5 seconds. Perhaps the CTV made more than just another gap in the huge universe of advertising, advertisers and publishers can look for the past for inspiration.
With me

- Advertising revenues are quickly moving from traditional linear television to connected television, with India having 70 million CTV houses by 2030, including significant growth in level II and III.
- Platforms such as YouTube are solving the problem with the transfer of new ad formats, such as shopping mastheads, built -in links and QR codes to bridge the gap between the TV screen and your browser smartphone.
- Consumers are conditional on receiving longer, non -transmissible television advertising, leading to higher average rates on connected television compared to mobile, giving advertisers a more engaged audience.
- The future of connected television advertising involves integrating mobile years formats, such as vertical video (YouTube shorts) and creating a smooth path from Discovery on a large screen and buy on the second device.
