According to a new report by UnivDatos, The India Smart TV Market is expected to reach USD Million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 16.51% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The Indian Smart TV market is growing due to the rising availability of affordable broadband internet connections and, more over-the-top platforms that operate with local (records) or regional languages (content). The increasing disposable income and a greater percentage of people living in urban areas are shifting their focus from traditional TV sets to smart connected devices. Relevant government policies, such as ‘Make in India’ and the PLI scheme, have helped in bringing manufacturing to India and thus making smart TVs more affordable. Also, the e-commerce portal is ensuring better access and affordable costs compared to earlier days, especially in tier II and tier III cities.

For instance, on February 10, 2025, Samsung TV Plus, Samsung’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service, collaborated with Warner Bros. to launch five new FAST channels exclusively on Samsung TV Plus India. These WBTV channels deliver premium storytelling to streaming audiences, meeting the demand for high-quality, free entertainment. With a strong focus on Hindi programming, these new FAST channels are designed to engage both regional and urban audiences.

The presence of highly developed technical giants and the widespread adoption of smart home environments also boost growth.
