Despite low smartphone penetration (29.1% of adult population) overall in India, smartphone users will spend two hours, 39 minutes daily with their handsets in 2018.
Christopher Bendtsen, senior forecasting analyst at eMarketer said: “As TV and digital time spent continue to rise in India, neither are growing at the expense of other traditional outlets [print and radio].
