India’s Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry has consistently outpaced the country’s GDP growth, achieving an impressive 8% increase in 2023. Traditional media, including television and radio, continues to dominate with a reach of 800 and 400 million consumers, respectively. However, digital media has firmly established itself, reaching 600 million users and setting the stage for explosive growth. This dynamic landscape underscores the importance of A.B.I.S. as a platform for industry players to stay ahead of the curve.

2024: Heralding a New Era for the Indian M&E Industry

Looking ahead to 2024, the Indian M&E sector is poised for transformative growth, driven by the rapid integration of digital technologies. With digital media expected to overtake television as the leading segment, the industry is on track to grow at an annual rate of 10%, potentially crossing INR 3 Trillion (USD 37.1 billion) by 2026. This growth is supported by the widespread adoption of OTT platforms, a thriving gaming sector, and robust digital infrastructure. Despite the digital boom, traditional media continues to show resilience, making India a “Linear and Digital market” where diverse media consumption habits coexist.

Showcasing the Future of M&E

A.B.I.S. 2024 will continue to spotlight the latest innovations across the broadcast, satellite, infotainment, and content sectors. Attendees can expect product launches, technical demonstrations, and insightful panel discussions that delve into emerging technologies such as Generative AI, Cloud Computing, and Virtual Production.

The Broadcast India Show 2024 will highlight key innovations in broadcasting, focusing on AI, IP-based workflows, cloud solutions, and equipment advancements.AI is a trending topic, with advancements in tools like metadata tagging, video editing automation, and audience analytics.

The transition from traditional SDI workflows to IP-based broadcasting is another major development. This shift is broadening the talent pool by making IP-based skills more accessible compared to specialized SDI knowledge. With IP and cloud workflows, broadcasters gain greater agility and cost-efficiency.Cloud technology is at the center stage with hybrid solutions combining public and private cloud infrastructures. These systems allow broadcasters to manage peak demands while optimizing costs and maintaining sensitive data on secure, on-premise platforms.

The BROADCAST INDIA Conference will feature three days of discussions on trending topics, while the CONTENT INDIA Conference will offer an interactive platform for exploring the complexities of film acquisition and distribution. The SCAT India TradeShow will provide unparalleled opportunities for networking and business development in the satellite and broadband domains.

India at the Forefront of Global Content Creation

India’s M&E sector produces an astonishing 200,000 hours of content annually, captivating audiences across 160+ countries. The country’s growing talent pool in content creation, post-production, VFX, animation, and gaming is transforming India into a global hub for the creative industry. As the nation moves towards a billion active screens by 2030, innovation in content creation, distribution, and monetization strategies will be key to sustaining growth.

“Our goal with A.B.I.S. 2024 is to continue fostering innovation and collaboration within the industry.
