It accounts for over 10 per cent of the country s gross domestic product (GDP) and around eight per cent of the employment in India. The country is today the fifth largest global destination in the world for retail. India s retail market is expected to double to US$ 1 trillion by 2020 from US$ 600 billion in 2015 driven by income growth, urbanisation and attitudinal shifts, highlighted the Boston Consulting Group and Retailers Association of India s report titled, Retail 2020: Retrospect, Reinvent, Rewrite that further states that while the overall retail market will grow at 12% per annum, modern trade will grow twice as fast at 20% per annum, and traditional at 10%.

Growing opportunities in home furnishings and lifestyle market inspire SR coding at IHGF With the rise in purchasing power, and the growth of retail, the lifestyle of Indians is also transforming year after year. The emerging middle class with multiple earning members in each family is now eager to spend on lifestyle, home décor and other related products. From the young working couples to middle class households in the hinterlands, people are getting increasingly attracted to value added, stylish and high end home fashion products. Those in urban areas are taking pride in picking the right combination of home décor, furnishings and textiles to impart their own personality to their homes and are also getting increasingly generous with their gift spending. As a result, there is a healthy and steady growth in the Indian markets for home décor and housewares (25-30% per annum). The domestic home textiles and furnishings market is growing at around 40%. Save your time! Here for Domestic Retail Sourcing? Exhibitors s stalls interested in retail have the SR symbol. Domestic volume trade buyers also have this displayed on their badge.1248 exhibitors at the show are also open to domestic retail. India s burgeoning E-retail sector contributes as well With the growth in the demand for home décor, furnishings and other home improvement products, e-retailing is turning out to be a lucrative channel for increasing sales for manufacturers. The e-retailers are also realizing that there is a higher margin in home products than other product categories and are hence putting more efforts to push sales for this category. Internationally, consumers of home products increasingly prefer to shop online. In India, with 3g reaching to over 80% of Indian masses, online shopping is bound to increase as the more time people spend online, the more probable it is that they will shop. Over the next 5 years, overall retail is expected to grow by 12-15%, organized retail by 25-30% and e-retail by 60%. By the year 2020, estimated size of total e-commerce business in India is likely to reach USD 70 million, clearly indicating a bright future for e-retailers. Some e-commerce websites have busted popular myths about e-retailing which were far from the reality. The belief that online buying is restricted to educated Indians in urban areas looking for discounts stands proven wrong, as many e-tailers derive 60% of sales from non-discounted products. Another myth that was busted was that online buyers are mainly from the metros as the top ten cities contributed 60% out of which 35% came from metros. The people in metros buy online for the convenience but the buyers from tier 2-3 cities buy due to the lack of availability in brick and mortar shops in their vicinity, keeping these figures in mind, it is easy to conclude that tier 2-3 cities will soon become loyal customers for e-retailers. It is also easier to study the consumer behavior online and market products accordingly due to the availability of huge amounts of data. E-retailing of home products also allows for concept selling as it is easier to take picture of a room from different angles and show it to the buyers online than setting up a mock room in a brick and mortar store.
