There are nearly 2500 power & hand tools manufacturers in India of which 95 percent are SMEs. Punjab and Haryana have nearly 450 hand tool units. 70 per cent of the power & hand tools industry is based in Jalandhar and Ludhiana with the balance spread out in cities like Sonepat and Faridabad.
Mr. Navin Mistry, Head Retail Exports and Lifestyle Category, eBay India said, “Sale of tools & equipment is a significant market in Punjab. However, with increasing competition from China and Taiwan, and to propel government’s ‘Make in India’ vision, there’s an urgent need to provide a thrust to Indian products by increasing their accessibility both globally and domestically. Clients are also choosing to buy tools independently and not in packs, hence online shopping and ebay.in has become the preferred option among shoppers.”
The top selling categories under Power & Hand Tools are
Drill Machines | Air pressure washers | Tool Boxes | Gardening Tools | Laboratory Instruments |
Laboratory Instruments in India is currently estimated at USD1.03 billion, expected to grow at 42 percent y-o-y. Though the current online market size for this category is negligible, however, on ebay.in, the category is witnessing growth rates of 200 percent with exports from Punjab and Haryana contributing significantly to the category. The top 3 selling items under Laboratory Instruments are Microscopes, Dental Accessories and Orthopedic products.
