Key takeaways from a report shared by Time Outdoor Monitoring covering 2014 suggest that traditional media formats were the most used in the outdoor media plans. The firm's pan-India analysis across 40 cities shows that the OOH industry's Share of Voice (SOV) was estimated at Rs 7096.22 crore, 5.91% higher than the industry's SOV in the year 2013, which was estimated at Rs.6676.98 crore. The estimated spends were based on the market rate and not the actual negotiated rate. The study also did not include spends on transit media and kiosks.
