India has an increasingly affluent middle class population that, on the back of rapid economic growth, has made the country’s consumer electronics industry highly dynamic. The industry has been witnessing significant growth in recent years due to several factors, such as retail boom, growing disposable income and availability of easy finance schemes. But still, the consumer electronics goods, like refrigerators, microwave and washing machines, have low penetration in the country, representing vast room for future growth. This is attracting many foreign majors to the country, according to the new report "Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India”.
The report finds that since the penetration of several products like TVs and refrigerators are reaching saturation in the urban areas, the markets for these products are shifting to the semi-urban and rural areas.
This analytical research thoroughly evaluates the Indian consumer electronics industry. It briefly discusses about the current and emerging trends in the industry, underlining the future potential areas and key issues crucial for the industry development.
"Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India” offers extensive research on various consumer electronics products that are broadly classified as home appliances, audio/video appliances, mobile handsets, and PC market. It provides an insight into the emerging and potential future trend in all the categories and highlights the key strategies that need to be worked upon to get success in the highly competitive industry.
The report thoroughly analyzes the historic performance and future prospects, offering 4-year industry forecast, of following consumer electronics products:
§ Washing Machines (Semi-automatic & Fully Automatic)
