A closer look at India's mobile market

App usage habits and trends saw a drastic change during 2020 as people all around the world turned towards mobile for entertainment, daily tasks and necessity during lockdowns. Within the APAC region, it wasn’t just the number of sessions and installs that increased drastically - the time users spent in-app, the number of sessions they had per day, and the length of the average session also grew.

Over the time that WARC has carried out this survey with the MMA, the role of mobile in the arsenal of marketers has grown significantly. As smartphone technology becomes more and more sophisticated, the line between the mobile medium and the rest of the online media mix is increasingly blurred. This blurring means the distinction between mobile and the rest of digital is hard to make, leading to fewer respondents this year labelling their strategy as ‘mobile-first’ and only 22% having a separate mobile marketing budget. 

As more businesses continue to invest in MarTech solutions, and the Indonesian marketing landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial for marketers to identify trends and best practices that will help them accelerate business growth. 

In line with MMA’s mission to continuously enlighten, empower and enable marketers to shape the future of modern marketing, we have developed the MMA Indonesia MarTech Report 2021. It includes valuable insights into Indonesia’s MarTech landscape, delving into topics such as advertising and promotion, content and experience, and commerce and sales.

In March 2021, the MMA conducted a study to gain insight into how marketers, agency executives and media sellers are approaching the upcoming changes in IDFA and how they are preparing for the future of the ecosystem.
