EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Indian consumer durables industry has witnessed a considerable change in the past
couple of years. Changing lifestyle, higher disposable income coupled with greater
affordability and a surge in advertising has been instrumental in bringing about a sea
change in the consumer behavior pattern.
This industry consists of durable goods used for domestic purposes such as televisions,
washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens, mobile phones etc. The growth in the
consumer durables sector has been driven primarily by factors such as the boom in the
real estate & housing industry, higher disposable income, emergence of the retail industry
in a big way coupled with rising affluence levels of a considerable section of the
population.
As per a survey conducted by FICCI on the Indian consumer durables industry, a shift in
consumer preferences towards higher-end, technologically advanced branded products
has been quite discernable.
