foreign companies have entered into India, dethroning the Indian players and

refrigerators, air-conditioners and washing machines.

India. LG and Samsung, the two Korean companies have been maintaining the lead

penetration level in rural area is much lower. The CTV segment is expected to
the largest contributing segment to the overall growth of the industry. The

are the main growth drivers of this industry.
This report highlights the significance this industry has for the Indian
economy, throwing light on the pre and post liberalization scenario. It
discusses the important segments of this industry and the growth patterns,
trends and the demand drivers. The report also profiles the key players of
