Dentsu India has launched its latest industry report, ‘Martech Landscape in India’, offering an in-depth analysis of the country’s rapidly evolving Martech (marketing technology) ecosystem.
The report underscores how India’s growing digital infrastructure and government initiatives like Digital India are propelling Martech adoption across industries.
The report reveals that digital advertising in India is projected to grow at an impressive 19.09 percent CAGR, reaching ₹59,200 crore by 2025.
Key sectors, such as e-commerce and digital retail, are significantly contributing to this growth.
Martech tools, particularly those powered by AI-driven personalization and advanced analytics, are revolutionizing customer experiences and helping brands optimize ROI.
Startups are playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of Martech. These emerging companies, particularly those focused on SaaS solutions, AI, and data analytics, are offering scalable, cost-effective tools catering to both domestic and international markets.
With venture capital investment on the rise, these startups are driving innovation by integrating cutting-edge technologies like machine learning and blockchain into their solutions.
In addition to urban centers, Martech is finding new opportunities in India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
The report highlights emerging trends such as voice and vernacular language technologies, which are broadening Martech’s reach and creating significant growth potential for brands targeting these regions.
A key trend identified in the report is the increasing role of artificial intelligence in personalized marketing.

AI-driven tools are enabling businesses to create highly targeted marketing campaigns, fostering deeper customer engagement.
Additionally, the strategic importance of first-party data is rising, particularly as third-party cookies become obsolete.
Brands are now focusing on first-party data as a valuable asset for building stronger customer relationships and driving more personalized marketing efforts.
As businesses intensify their digital transformation efforts, analytics and data management platforms are becoming integral to MarTech operations.
These platforms enable companies to extract actionable insights from vast data sets, helping them deliver personalized experiences at scale.
The report notes that companies leveraging these tools are better positioned to optimize marketing strategies and improve operational efficiency.
Government initiatives like Digital India are playing a crucial role in strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure.
These programs are accelerating the adoption of MarTech solutions across various industries, as businesses seek to enhance customer engagement and improve their marketing strategies.
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Strategies Fuel Martech Adoption
Another major trend driving Martech growth is the rise of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) strategies.
Brands, particularly in personal care, beauty, and wellness, are increasingly adopting D2C models to establish direct connections with consumers.
This shift is leading to a surge in the demand for Martech solutions that can facilitate these new business models.
AI continues to transform various aspects of MarTech, from customer relationship management (CRM) to content personalization and the scalability of digital campaigns.
Machine learning algorithms are enabling marketers to predict customer behavior, optimize campaigns in real-time, and make more informed decisions.
By analyzing large datasets, businesses can anticipate customer needs, resulting in more targeted and efficient marketing efforts.
Despite the growth and potential of MarTech, the integration of disparate tools and data sources into existing systems remains a significant challenge.
Many businesses face inefficiencies due to the lack of cohesive systems, leading to underutilization of tools’ full capabilities.
Financial limitations are another hurdle, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which often struggle with the high costs associated with premium Martech solutions.
The adoption of programmatic advertising tools is on the rise. These tools allow businesses to place ads more efficiently and precisely through automated bidding systems and data-driven decision-making.
This technology enables brands to optimize their advertising spend by targeting the right audience at the right time, thereby maximizing campaign effectiveness.
Hyper-personalization is another emerging trend in Martech, allowing brands to deliver tailored experiences based on individual customer preferences.
This approach has proven to increase engagement and conversion rates, further driving the demand for advanced Martech solutions.
Harsha Razdan, CEO of Dentsu South Asia, emphasized the transformative power of technology in simplifying complexity.
He noted, “Martech helps businesses turn vast amounts of data into meaningful customer experiences.
It’s not about whether businesses use Martech, but how effectively they integrate it into decision-making and customer engagement.”
Narayan Devanathan, President and Chief Strategy Officer at Dentsu South Asia, highlighted the increasing convergence of media, creative, and customer experience.
He stated, “Martech has become the backbone that unites these disciplines, enabling data-driven connections that lead to meaningful outcomes. We are excited to introduce this report, which will serve as a valuable guide for brands navigating India’s fast-evolving Martech landscape.”
As India’s Martech landscape continues to evolve, businesses that embrace the power of digital tools and AI-driven personalization will have a competitive edge.
With the right strategies and investments, Martech has the potential to drive significant business growth and foster deeper customer relationships.
