Summary:
According to BCG's upcoming report, From Content to Commerce, India’s thriving creator economy is reshaping the country's digital landscape. Over 2 to 2.5 million digital creators influence Rs. 29,60,300 crore (US$ 350 billion) in annual consumer spending — a figure projected to surpass Rs. 84,58,000 crore (US$ 1 trillion) by 2030. However, only 8–10% of creators effectively monetize their content, revealing vast untapped potential. India’s creator economy is gaining widespread popularity, with content consumption expanding beyond Gen Z and metropolitan areas. Short-form videos in comedy, fashion, and entertainment are leading the trend. Brands are investing in agile, creator-driven campaigns and exploring innovative monetization models such as live commerce, subscriptions, and virtual gifting. With creator marketing spend expected to rise significantly, WAVES 2025 will spotlight this shift through discussions on AI, social media, and the AVGC sector.
