Consumer Durables Industry in India

•  Generally divided between urban and rural markets, the Indian consumer durables market is drawing international marketers. There is a sizable middle class, and a sizable affluent class, in this sector. Consumer electronics including fans, cooking and kitchen appliances, and lighting fixtures are included in this industry, along with white goods like air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines.

• In the consumer durables sector, the organized sector is gaining market share from the unorganized sector. Around 30% of the market is still unorganized, according to estimates, giving listed Indian companies a big chance to grow their market share in the future. Future developments that will be significant include factory automation and artificial intelligence as consumer awareness of technological advancements and their applicability in various industries grows. Industry 4.0 will encourage investments in R&D, technology infrastructure, and manufacturing processes to boost the production efficiency of numerous consumer durables.

•  India is seen by multinational firms as one of the important markets from which future expansion is anticipated. India’s consumer market is expected to increase mainly due to its favourable demographics and rising disposable income. Electronics exports totalled ` 2,25,869 crore (US$ 26.1 billion) in FY25 (April–December). With strong development, India hopes to produce $300 billion worth of electronics and export $120 billion worth of electronics by FY26.

•  It is anticipated that the size of the Indian appliance and consumer electronics market will nearly double over the following three years, reaching a value of around Rs. 1.48 lakh crore (US$ 17.93 billion) by 2025. For FY25, foreign direct investment (FDI) in the computer software and hardware sector was the second-highest at Rs.92,13,168 crore (US$ 108.4 billion). Electronic goods received FDI inflows totaling Rs.44,595 crore (US$ 6.28 billion) between April 2000 and December 2024.

•   Rural India offers the industry’s next big growth opportunity due to greater penetration, according to a number of consumer durable manufacturers. The usage of electrical items has been made possible by the government’s efforts to electrify rural areas, which have improved the power supply in tier 3/4 towns and villages in recent years.

Company Perspective and Review

Amber Enterprises appears to be expanding, increasing its assets and operations while also taking on more debt. Positively, the equity base is robust and growing. Amber Enterprises’ top line (revenues) is increasing nicely. Recently, the business has been making more invest-ments, growing, and making more money. However, profitability is tight, with low net margins; therefore, effec-tive cost management, financing cost control, and capacity utilization are critical to success to draw a cautious but generally positive conclusion. The company financials are strong if the business climate is still favourable; risk rises in the event of disruption, slower growth, delays in receivables or inventory clearance, or pressure from interest rates. They are reinvesting profits.
