Consumer Goods

Consumer Markets in China

Until the late 1990s, consumers thought of top brands only in terms of "famous names" (名牌). Back then, foreign brands were signals of luxury and social status, but nothing more specific—not even quality. Branded goods sold in China were not greatly differentiated, and few social occasions in China required more fashionable clothing.
Branded apparel that found its way into consumer wardrobes was disproportionately characterized by athletic sportswear. Since the early 2000s, however, more sophisticated
consumers have been looking to express identity and status through fashion. To these consumers, brand is more than just a famous name, and should resonate personally on an emotional level. A broader range of entertainment options and social occasions, along with growing consumer affluence, are driving Chinese consumers to expand and diversify their wardrobes. Consumers are also seeking more unique and personalized shopping experiences, increasing e-commerce and multi-channel sales. Know More >>

Consumer Markets in India

The growing purchasing power and the rising influence of the social media have helped the Indian consumers to splurge on good things. A study done by a leading industry body and Yes Bank has stated that the consumer spending in India is expected to quadruple to US$ 4.2 trillion by 2017. As per GSMA's study 'Smartphone forecasts and assumptions, 2007-2020' India ranks fourth in the top 10 global smartphones markets. The country had 111 million smartphone connections in the April-June quarter of 2014, behind leader China, US and Brazil. India could become the world's largest middle class consumer market with a total consumer spend of nearly US$ 13 trillion by 2030, as per a report by Deloitte titled 'India matters: Winning in growth markets'. On the back of better incomes and increasing affordability, the consumer durables market is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8 per cent to US$ 12.5 billion in FY15 from US$ 7.3 billion in FY12. Online retailing, both direct and through marketplaces, will grow threefold to become a Rs 50,000 crore (US$ 8.06 billion) industry by 2016, as per rating agency Crisil. Also, the growth of internet retail is expected to boost offline retail stores. India could soon become an important market for wearable technology such as smart watches and fitness monitors, driven by consumer interests in these latest gadgets and the increasing spending on consumer durables. In Accenture's Digital Consumer Tech Survey 2014, respondents from India were most interested in buying fitness monitors (80 per cent), smart watches (76 per cent) and internet-enabled eyeglasses (74 per cent).
