Indian Marketers Boost Event Spending; Non-Cricket Sports Aid Streaming Platforms
A Nielsen survey found that 94% of Indian marketers plan to increase spending on sponsorship and event media over the next 12 to 24 months, the highest among six countries studied. Sports sponsorship is seen as a key avenue for reaching new audiences. Meanwhile, non-cricket sports leagues in India are gaining importance for streaming platforms by sustaining year-round viewership and attracting niche audiences, complementing cricket and entertainment content despite challenges in monetization through subscriptions alone.
