The Indian M&E sector is poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.28 per cent over the next five years, and reach Rs 4.51 trillion by 2023. This is significantly higher than the global M&E revenue growth projected at 4.3 per cent for the same period.

While outside sponsorship remains lower than global markets, India’s e-sports sector is set to increase at a 36.8 per cent CAGR at the end of the forecast period. India’s music, radio, and podcasts market was worth Rs 5,753 crore in 2018, up from Rs 3, 890 crore in 2014.
