addition of "Consumer Durables Market in India" to their offering.

   Indian consumer durables market used to be dominated by a few
domestic players like Godrej, Allwyn, Kelvinator, and Voltas. But
post-liberalization many foreign companies have entered into India,
dethroning the Indian players and dominating the market. The major
categories in the market are CTVs, refrigerators, air-conditioners and
washing machines.

   India being the second fastest growing economy with a huge
consumer class has resulted in consumer durables as one of the fastest
growing industries in India. LG and Samsung, the two Korean companies
have been maintaining the lead in the industry with LG being the
leader in almost all the categories.

   The rural market is growing faster than the urban markets,
although the 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 rising income levels, double-income
families and increasing consumer awareness 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 this industry, with a discussion of their
business strategies.
