According to Kofluence's report, India's influencer marketing industry is on track to grow from ₹3,000-3,500 crore in 2025 to ₹4,500-5,000 crore by 2027, marking a 22% CAGR. This growth is attributed to the formalisation of the creator economy, with 15% of active creators now registered as business entities. The report highlights a significant shift towards measurable influencer partnerships, with brands increasingly linking marketing expenditures to revenue targets. Furthermore, regional markets are emerging as key players, with engagement rates in Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities surpassing those in metro areas. The report also notes that 93.1% of brands are focusing their influencer marketing efforts on Instagram, while 59% of creators are leveraging AI tools for content ideation and other tasks. The tightening regulatory landscape, including oversight from the Advertising Standards Council of India and the implementation of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, is pushing for greater transparency in the industry.
