IRL is pleased to announce the planned publication A Profile of the Indian Paint Industry which will become available early in spring of 2003. This brand new title and first edition is thought to be the first time the Indian paint industry has been covered in depth by any of the leading paint information sources. This is the first of several country-specific Profiles we are planning to cover in 2003.
The Indian paint market is widely perceived as one of huge potential and partly owes its continued growth to rising personal wealth and innovation on the part of its leading paint companies. While the organised sector is responsible for a majority of the market, the contribution from the small-scale sector remains appreciable at about 40% of the market. Recent growth estimates from the paint industry have been placed at 8-10% pa.
This unique publication will provide a comprehensive picture of the industry based on the planned contents given (right).
In addition to information on the Indian paint industry, this Profile will provide as full information as possible on the enduser markets and industries for paints in India.
The research for this report is being carried out in early 2003. Where possible, statistical data is provided for the years up to 2001. Market forecasts will be based on estimates for 2002 and calculated for 2007.
