Challenges and Opportunities in Entering the Competitive Home Appliances Market in India
There are many players in the space for decades which include the likes of Tata, Samsung, LG and now Reliance entry would mean locking horns with such giants.
With majors like LG, Samsung, Haier, Whirlpool and Daikin in the Rs 1.1 lakh crore TV and other Home Appliances Indian market, Reliance is trying to get something of the pie.
Notably, this move comes when there are anticipations about the increased rural demand in the consumer durables and home appliances market.
The incumbent government plans to build 20 million homes in rural areas over the next five years.
