India's Micro-Drama Market Expected to Grow Tenfold by FY32 with AVOD Expansion
India's micro-drama market is projected to grow over tenfold to Rs 23,500-25,500 crore by FY32, driven by a shift towards advertising video-on-demand (AVOD) alongside subscriptions, according to Redseer Strategy Consultants. Advertising revenue could rise from Rs 24 crore in FY26 to Rs 5,000-5,500 crore by FY32, expanding the audience to 140-150 million daily active users. Currently, subscriptions dominate revenue, with 15-17 million monthly paying users in FY26, while consumer interest in ad-supported content exceeds 65%.
