India’s craft and promotional gifts industry is an emerging sector that provides employment to almost 6 million people.
Although the line is large, its export capability remains underdeveloped. As a result, the country claims a meager 1 percent share of the world’s handicrafts exports, of which craft and promotional gifts are included.
Nevertheless, a number of competitive advantages are seen to help develop the industry into one of India’s reliable export sectors. These strengths include high value-addition ratio, which allows suppliers to use low-cost materials and turn them into high-value finished products.
This report focuses on the main types of craft and promotional gifts exported from India – craft gifts, premiums and keychains.
This India Sourcing Report is part of the Developing Country Sourcing Report series designed to provide buyers with information on new products from export manufacturers in Southeast Asia that specialize in hand-made merchandise.
Global Sources is offering Developing Country Sourcing Reports as part of its corporate social responsibility undertakings in partnership with the Kearny Alliance, a non-governmental development organization whose mission is Aid through Trade (http://www.kearnyalliance.org).
