AI Expands Advertising Access and Growth Opportunities for Indian SMBs, Study Finds
A recent Amazon Ads study shows that artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding advertising opportunities for Indian small and medium businesses (SMBs). Nearly 87% of SMBs report AI tools help them access new channels like streaming TV, previously seen as inaccessible due to cost and complexity. Three-quarters say AI-enabled advertising supports business growth, while 68% note increased creativity. AI also facilitates cross-border advertising, making international markets more reachable for SMBs. Adoption of AI-powered tools among Amazon advertisers in India has grown significantly year over year.
