Executive summary

DIY Culture Yet to Develop

Indians, as a rule, do not "do it themselves". An army of skilled professionals – carpenters, plumbers, painters, gardeners and electricians – are available in every city, and are made use of for installations and repair. Labour is still relatively cheap and there is not enough skill among lay householders to carry out the task themselves.

Marketers and manufacturers mainly target their products at professionals, and so instructions on the product are incomplete/brief. Products are also not packaged with the necessary fixtures (screws, paint brush, etc) to allow for ease of DIY use. For the purposes of this report, DIY in India has been defined as retail sales to the end user/home owner, even if the home owner/buyer is not involved in installation.

Urban Housing Demand on the Up

A combination of factors like urban migration, declining household sizes and a young population, are leading to growing demand for urban housing. These factors, coupled with good GDP growth and easier home financing over the last few years, led to a boom in India. Demand is coming from urban agglomerations all across the country, and also at all income levels. Indians traditionally value a home of their own, and therefore purchasing a home is one of the primary investments of a household. The housing boom has been good news for all DIY subsectors, which saw good growth in the review period, and are expected to continue to grow in the forecast period.

Greater Presence of Imports

The government's removal of trade barriers led to a significant increase in imports, across all product categories, as well as at different price points. While cheap private label products came in bulk from China, more expensive, high quality products are also coming in from Europe, leading to both volume and value growth.

Private Labels Rule

Private labels produced by India's small scale industry have traditionally fragmented sales and account for approximately 40% of sales in several DIY and gardening subsectors. The mass, national brands were more expensive than these private labels.

During the review period, inexpensive Chinese-made products flooded retail stores across the country, giving small-scale domestic manufacturers a hard time. These companies are either selling their units to large Indian brands, or converting themselves into trading outfits.
