INDUSTRY

 

With the domestic turnover at Rs. 5.8 billion the Aircon (A/C) segment is the smallest in the consumer durable industry. Its small size is a deterrent for the entry of multinationals. But almost all MNCs plant to make forays into the segment once they streamline the operating systems in other segments of consumer durables. Inspite of the small size, the Aircon industry has been lucrative for the small number of Companies operating in the domestic market.

 

Yearly growth rates have been in excess of 30 %. Some of the established players in the domestic arena are carrier Aircon, Voltas and Blue Star. The entire A/C market can be divided into room A/C and central A/C segments. Room A/Cs comprise nearly half the total demand for A/Cs, with central A/Cs accounting the rest of the demand. Carrier Aircon is the market leader in the room A/C segment and Blue star leads in the central A/C segment. A large unorganised sector also operates in the domestic room A/C market. In fact, the unorganised sector meets nearly half the total domestic demand for room A/Cs. In the budget for Financial year – 1998, the excise duty rate have been cut from 40 % to 30 %. As a result, the retail price of room A/Cs charged by the organised sector has come down, and is only around 22 % more than the price charged by the unorganised sector.
