India OTT Media Services Market Trends:

Surge in Regional Language Content and Vernacular OTT Platform Expansion

The India OTT media services market growth is being propelled by an unprecedented surge in regional language content consumption and the rapid expansion of vernacular-focused streaming platforms. According to the FICCI-EY report, the share of regional languages in all OTT video content has dramatically increased from 27% in 2020 to 54% in 2024, demonstrating a fundamental shift in viewer preferences toward culturally authentic entertainment. This transformation is driven by expanding internet penetration in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, where consumers increasingly prefer content in their native languages including Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, and Gujarati. Major platforms such as Disney+ Hotstar, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ZEE5 have significantly ramped up investments in regional original series and dubbed content to capture this growing audience segment. Platforms are producing original series in multiple languages, with over 12 Gujarati originals produced by JOJO in the last year alone, while simultaneously dubbing popular shows across five or more languages to maximize reach. The shift is particularly evident in consumption patterns, with majority of OTT traffic now originating from outside major metropolitan cities, compared to 70% urban concentration just a few years ago. Regional content is not only attracting larger audiences but also demonstrating higher engagement and subscription conversion rates, as viewers connect more deeply with stories that reflect their local culture, traditions, and linguistic identity. This trend is expected to intensify further, with projections indicating that regional language consumption will surpass Hindi content by 2025-2026, fundamentally reshaping content commissioning strategies and investment priorities across India's OTT ecosystem.

Connected TV (CTV) Adoption Accelerating Premium Viewing Experience

The rapid proliferation of Connected TV adoption is revolutionizing content consumption patterns and creating transformative advertising opportunities in India's streaming ecosystem. Remarkable adoption of these TVs is fueled by several converging factors including the increasing affordability of smart TVs, with models now available for as low as Rs 10,000 and approximately 90% of new television sales being smart TVs. The shift from mobile viewing to large-screen immersive experiences is fundamentally changing how audiences engage with content, with viewers increasingly preferring the premium visual quality and shared family viewing experience that CTV provides. For advertisers, CTV presents unprecedented targeting and measurement capabilities that leverage consent-based consumer data and advanced programmatic advertising technologies. Unlike traditional linear television, CTV enables brands to deliver personalized, interactive advertisements with direct performance measurement from awareness to conversion, making it an increasingly attractive channel for marketing budgets. Major OTT platforms including YouTube, JioHotstar, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Zee5 are optimizing their content and advertising strategies specifically for CTV consumption, recognizing that addressable advertising on CTV is projected to surpass 13% of total television advertising revenue in India by 2025. The convergence of improved infrastructure, affordable devices, and sophisticated advertising technology positions Connected TV as a critical growth driver for India's OTT market over the coming years.
