MarTech is no longer only about marketing, it needs to drive sales: Report

88% of respondents expect to increase their MarTech spending over the next three years.

Mirum India, a Wunderman Thompson company, launched the 3rd  Edition of the 'Mirum India MarTech Report' today. The report, powered by WPP, provides an  insightful guide to the emerging MarTech landscape in India.

The report captures how MarTech solutions are being utilized by brands to effectively communicate their brand messages to the  right set of audiences at the right time. 

The report highlights that while the global spend on MarTech solutions is around 25% of the total marketing budget, in India, majority organizations spend less than 15%, indicating significant  potential for growth.

With MarTech spending set to increase across company sizes and sectors,  88% of respondents expect to increase their MarTech spending over the next three years. The  report also emphasizes the need for brands and organizations to work with growth partners as  preferred by MarTech HEROES, focusing on ROI, and delivering value to the brands. 

Data-driven organizations, which make up 15% of the respondents, have a data-driven marketing  edge that most other organizations might miss. However, the report cautions that with the advent  of Web3, and the shift towards a cookie-less world, rethinking marketing strategies is on the cards  for most organizations. 

The report aims to provide clarity to the industry, enabling brands and growth partners to  understand how the ecosystem can drive value for themselves and their clients.  

Speaking on the launch of the report, Hareesh Tibrewala, joint CEO – Mirum India, said, "The  estimated size of the MarTech industry in India is expected to be between $35bn and $50bn by  2026, presenting a sizeable opportunity for businesses. Our latest report highlights how brands are  using MarTech solutions to effectively deliver the right brand message to the right customer at the  right time, creating fabulous customer experiences and increasing brand loyalty. It is interesting to  note that marketers globally spend 25% of their budgets on MarTech solutions, and our report  shows the emergence of MarTech EXPLORERS, who are keen to leverage the power of MarTech.  This presents an exciting opportunity for businesses to grow and thrive in the ever-evolving digital  landscape."

CVL Srinivas, country manager – WPP India said, "To succeed in the rapidly evolving tech and data  driven world, organizations need good marketing automation tools and diverse skill sets.
