Red Cats, [Mr. Well Bach], 10th Floor, Tower-B, DLF Cyber Green, DLF City, Phase – III, Gurgaon – 122002, Haryana, India

 

The handicrafts industry in India is largely organized and decentralized.It employs about five million artisans, mostly in carpet making and manufacturing of bamboo and jute items. Most of these craftsmen work on a part-time basis.

The largest export market for Indian handicrafts is the United States.The indian handicraft sector is showing an annual average growth rate of 8.5%. In US$ terms also this annual average growth rate is approximately around 4.74% .

The handicraft industry stands at "100 billion worldwide and India has 1.2% of this market. This year the major buyers of Indian handicrafts were US, Canada, the European and the West Asian countries among which the United States rule largest import market for Indian handicrafts. The handicrafts industry in India is spread all over the country employing approximately over 5 million artisans and around 67,000 exporters tapping this market. The handicraft and handloom sector is a major source of rural employment and earns substantial foreign exchange. The Indian handicraft sector this year has shown an annual average growth rate of 8.5%. Handicrafts, over the last few years have transformed their utility from mere shelf decorative to daily useable category. It is thus the primary need of any seller to constantly update, develop & add to his product profile. As one says that variety is the spice of life, the handicraft market has really changed over the years and one cannot imagine even surviving in the market with the same old products.

 

International : The handicraft industry is at $ 100 billion worldwide and India has 1.2 % of this market. China which is the largest country has a 14 % share of the total handicraft market.

 

Indian Scenario : The handicraft industry currently is at 50000 millions, i.e. a 20.66 % growth recorded this year. Major items of export include artmetalware, woodware, hand printed textiles and scarves, embroidered and crocheted goods, shawls as artware, zari goods, laces and imitation jewellery. This year the major buyers of Indian handicrafts ware US, Canada, the European and the West Asian countries. The industry is spread all over the country employing over  the country employing over 5 million artisans and 67000 exporters tapping this market.

 

Wooden handicrafts are specialized skills passed on from one generation to the next. The term 'wooden handicrafts' refers to a wide range of wooden items carrying utilitarian and artistic value that are made by hand, or with the use of simple tools. Indian wooden handicrafts reflect unmatched workmanship, fine designs, and subtle elegance. This makes India one of the chief exporters of wooden handicrafts in the world market.

 

The wooden handicrafts industry plays an important role in the Indian economy. This industry requires low capital investment and other resources. The wooden handicraft sector provides a high ratio of value addition, and has emerged as one of the major sources of foreign exchange earnings for India.


Indian wooden handicrafts are much sought after the world over, and form an important export commodity of India. Although India's handicraft exports show a consistent increase of sixteen per cent every year, its share in the international market is not more than two per cent.


The Indian wooden handicraft sector is the second largest employment provider (after agriculture). It employs about six million artisans. Women constitute a large section of the handicrafts industry, including people belonging to the weaker sections of society.

 

In the changing world scenario, craft products exported to various countries form a part of lifestyle products in international market.  The impact is due to the changing consumer taste and trends.  In view of this it is high time that the Indian handicraft industry went into the details of changing designs, patterns, product development, requisite change in production facilities for a variety of materials, production techniques, related expertise to achieve a leadership position in the fast growing competitiveness with other countries. 

 

The 6 million craft persons who are the backbone of Indian Handicraft Industry as provided with inherent skill, technique, traditional craftsmanship but that is quite sufficient for primary platform. However, in changing world market these craft persons need an institutional support, at their places i.e. craft pockets for value addition and for the edge with other competitors like China, Korea, Thailand etc.
