There are approximately 500 new companies entering the business of home products in India every year, in manufacturing, marketing and imports. In addition, every year about 3,000 to 4,000 new retailers are entering this segment, both, online and offline. This re-iterates the fast growing home products industry in India. HGH India is also committed to a sustainable growth and innovations in home products. HGH India aims to open up new business opportunities for retailers, OEM suppliers, brands and manufacturers, particularly in the rapidly growing home products market in the five states of South India. Consumption in these states is increasing by over 20% year on year. Most market players are feeling the need to further expand their distribution and retail network in the Southern region. Many Indian companies are increasing their production, marketing, and distribution efforts to cater to local demand, while foreign companies are making a concerted effort to tap into this high-growth region.”

At the inaugural, Chairman, Manipal Group, T Sudhakar Pai said, “Bengaluru is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, running on innovation. It is our privilege to have the 16th edition of HGH India in Bengaluru. I have been part of the very first edition of HGH India in Mumbai. The World is big canvas of opportunities and is ever so dynamic. India must shine brighter on that canvas and catch up with the pace. With industry platforms like HGH India, we are hopeful of great synergy and business exchange.”
