The Indian Consumer appliances market has witnessed robust growth trends in the past 5 years and is expected to foresee double digit growth reinforced by surging rural consumption, reducing replacement cycles, increasing penetration of lifestyle appliances, and availability of multiple brands at various price points. Rapidly shrinking replacement cycles for consumer durables sustain demand in urban India while existing low penetration rates and increasing usage of consumer durables have catapulted rural India to a high demand (30% annual growth) generating segment. Also, the income level disparities compel alignment of marketing tactics for desired customer segments. High Income groups opt for advanced features, whereas, Middle and Low Income groups are price sensitive.
Base year for the study is FY17.
Forecast period: FY18-FY21
Geography: India (Further analysis at state and regional level)
Product segmentation Consumer Appliances:
Flat Panel Display (FPD) TV: LED vs. OLED vs. 3D TV,
Refrigerators: Direct cool vs. Frost Free vs. Side by side
Washing Machine: Semi auto (SA) vs. Fully auto (top load - TL) vs. Fully auto (front load - FL)
Microwave Ovens: Solo vs. Convection vs. Grill
Room Air Conditioners: Window vs. Split
Research Scope and Limitations
Consumer durables growth is driven by low current penetration rates, increasing consumption demand and rising income levels
Regions yielding high demand growth exhibit high per capita incomes, high economic activities and higher urbanization rates
Establishing strong a brand association and providing easy accessibility to service holds the key to growth
Income level disparities compel alignment of marketing tactics for desired customer segments. HIG* opt for advanced features; M/LIG* are price conscious.
Panel TV presents the largest opportunity in the consumer durables segment with high growth in all remaining segments
Rising income levels and launch of versions with advanced features are responsible for increasing demand
Need for convenience drives embracing of new, evolving products like Front Load / Semi-automatic Washing machines and Microwave ovens
Owing to the hot and humid climate, demand for ACs is likely to continue on a growth path
LG and Samsung stand out as clear leaders in all product categories combined
Growth reinforced by surging rural consumption, smaller replacement cycles and increasing penetration of lifestyle appliances
High growth regions witness high economic activities, rising income levels, a dual working population and higher need for convenience
Delhi – NCR: Higher purchasing power in the region has led to high penetration of consumer appliances in households
Punjab: Consumers are brand conscious and exhibit high brand loyalty
Gujarat:
Mumbai: Mostly dual income families, consumers look for better comfort; quick adoption of new technology that offers convenience
Rest of Maharashtra: Higher urbanization rate is resulting in higher uptake of utility products
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana: Characterized by low urbanization rate and rural affluence, something that is contrary to other regions
Tamil Nadu & Kerala: higher literacy rates of 80.1% & 94.0% drive higher adoption of technology and feature-rich products
Karnataka: Dual income IT populace pushes tech-driven products; rapid migration of unskilled labor aids sales of lower-end appliances.
Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand: Electricity disruptions restrict growth of the market, which otherwise has huge potential
Rapid urbanization rate and a growing Gen Y population will dictate consumer dynamics and purchase behaviour
Price consciousness to remain a key factor among the middle class population which will be dominant in the coming years
Ease of operation and demand for comfort are steering lifestyle and evolution trends
Technology will play a vital role in product penetration, adoption and differentiation
With the industry showing a higher preference for technology, companies will focus more on revamping their product portfolios and marketing strategies
Maximize opportunities from existing products and markets; systematically explore new products and markets including inorganic Opportunites
