Summary

India kitchen appliances market has been growing well for the past few years and is expected to grow in double digits in the coming future based on the increasing consumer consumption trends and the rise in the per capita income and growing population across various regions of the states. Increased demand for branded products from rural areas (nearly 70% of Indian population still resides in rural areas), owing to the rural population’s better awareness of higher quality and durability, serves as one of the key drivers for the growth of the Indian kitchen appliances market. The large kitchen appliances segment holds a majority share of about 48% in the overall market. This is mainly driven by the increasing disposable incomes and the changing lifestyle, which instigate an inclination toward sophistication of kitchens, seeking to carry out the cooking experience with ease and a sense of comfort, especially for the growing working women population. Growing online retailing is giving newer impetus for the market to venture into this strongly emerging channel of distribution to capture maximum sales, and, in turn, meet the consumer demand effectively.
