White goods essentials
Home appliances such as air conditioners, washing machines and refrigerators have untapped potential for expansion and penetration into the Indian market. The revenue generation in the industry was estimated to reach 46 billion U.S. dollars in 2020. Air conditioners had a penetration rate of less than five percent in 2018 as opposed to washing machines, which had already crossed the ten percent mark in 2016. The demand for air-conditioners has been on the rise caused by the scorching heat during summers where temperatures have broken many records in the last two years.
Road ahead
Social media has dominated the advertising spend for the sector. Air conditioners were also advertised in the IPL. Electrification of rural areas combined with the fast-growing online shopping industry, the consumer durables market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of almost ten percent till 2022.
