Madison Media has predicted that Covid-19 will bring down the overall Indian adex in 2020 to Rs 55,000-58,000 crore, down 14-18% from Rs 67,603 crore in 2019. The 2020 adex will be somewhere between 2017 and 2018 levels.
In H1 2020, adex was only Rs 21,298 crore, a drop of 39% over H1 2019 or Rs 13,812 crore in absolute terms.
Adex is likely to recover in H2 20 and grow at a dramatic rate of 60% to 72% of the collapsed H1, or grow anywhere between 6% to 13% versus H2 19 on the back of the festival season, which Advertisers are sure to take advantage of, after a lean H1, Madison said in its forecast for the full year.
In H2, the adex will grow between Rs 34,300 to Rs 36,600 crore.
Madison mid-year review highlighted that TV and Digital showed early signs of getting back to normalcy and should get back in full form by September or October, aided by the launch of IPL, Bigg Boss and KBC. “H2 Adex will primarily depend on Demand coming back in markets which will depend on sentiment and consumers’ outlook of the immediate future, which in turn will depend on when Govt and private offices are allowed to open and work on regular basis,” it said.

Sam Balsara, Chairman, Madison World, said, “We are bullish in our forecast for H2 2020. We believe Advertisers will return to Adex in full form by Q4 to take advantage of the festive Season. Enlightened advertisers know that they cannot risk being off Advertising for risk of losing Market Share, since Share lost is expensive to regain. Media owners are well advised to be nimble and flexible with existing Advertisers and spare no effort in helping Local and Regional brands become National Brands and help hitherto unadvertised Brands taste the power of Advertising.”
