The I&B Ministry in India chose to ban television advertising for condoms, between 6 am and 10 pm. Does this impact the industry? Where is the prospective user anyway? Digital advertising as a far more credible media to advertise, is what this presentation brings out!
2. LET’S NOT CONDEMN THE BAN* ON CONDOM ADS ON TV
DIGITAL EXISTS
*I&B Ministry issued a statement on 12th Dec 2017 to allow Condom ads aired on TV only between 10 pm and 6 am.
Reason : that some channels carry advertisements of condoms repeatedly which are alleged to be indecent especially for children
3. THERE WAS A HUGE HUE & CRY WITH THE RECENT 6 AM-10 PM BAN ON CONDOM ADS ON TELEVISION…
4. INDIA with 1.32 Bn population has
an overall 6% condom usage
(European countries have usage rate
close to 30%)
LOW CONDOM USAGE HIGH URBAN USAGE
Usage in Urban India is
much more as compared to
Tier 2, 3 towns
LET’S STUDY SOME TRENDS ON CONDOM USAGE IN INDIA FIRST
