The India consumer electronics market size is expected to reach USD 124.94 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2023 to 2030. Rising disposable income, rapid urbanization, and the introduction of novel products in the market are expected to further contribute to the market growth.
The demand for flat refrigerators, washing machines, and TVs is rising with a decline in penetration of products vis-à-vis global levels, urbanization, and increasing disposable income of consumers. There has been an increase in imports from regions such as China and South-East Asia, considered to be low-cost regions, owing to certain free-trade agreements and the availability of low-cost products, in relation to costs about local manufacturing. To effectively suffice the rising local demand and export demand to the neighboring regions and the Middle East and Africa, global market participants are planning to expand their local manufacturing in India, thus making it an export hub.
However, presently the Indian manufacturers are facing challenges such as an inverted duty structure due to free trade agreements, which makes Indian manufacturing uncompetitive for white goods, including ACs, refrigerators, and washing machines. The non-applicability of Modified Special Packages Scheme (MSIPS) in several consumer durables; hiked excess duties, under-developed and insufficient local supplier base; and high-cost of manufacturing and capital costs owing to frequently changing energy efficiency requirements also contribute to this scenario.
The drivers contributing to the growth of this market relate to increasing levels of income and urbanization, improved affordability of products, product innovation, the availability of newer variants of products, easy consumer financing, and a rise in the share of organized retail. Increasing local value addition levels and growing investment will observe a manifold jump as an increasing number of OEMs are foreseeing the localization of their products in India.
