Indian consumers shift toward homegrown kitchenware as lifestyle changes drive demand
The Indian kitchenware and lifestyle market is undergoing a significant transformation, fueled by evolving consumer habits, rising health awareness, and the growing popularity of smart, space-saving home solutions.
As urban households become smaller and lifestyles busier, there is a surge in demand for durable, food-safe, and stylish kitchen products made in India.
According to industry estimates, the Indian kitchenware and home storage market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% by 2030. 'Consumers are now more conscious about what they bring into their kitchens—BPA-free materials, food-grade plastics, and products that balance convenience with safety are top priorities,' says Archit Garg, Director of Air Lock, a kitchenware brand leveraging a direct-selling MLM model.
While international brands still hold market share, Indian manufacturers are quickly gaining ground. Local companies are not only offering quality kitchenware that meets global standards, but are also adopting models like multi-level marketing (MLM) to build community-based sales networks—especially empowering women and homemakers.
'Our aim is to offer smart kitchen solutions that are functional, safe, and made in India. The MLM model helps us reach deeper into Indian households, create job opportunities, and promote self-reliance,' adds Garg. 'This reflects the true spirit of 'Desh ka paisa desh mein'—a movement toward a healthier, more self-reliant India.'
As the Make in India initiative gains traction and local supply chains strengthen, the kitchenware and lifestyle category is poised to become a major driver of domestic consumption and empowerment.

Mild recovery in India bonds; key debt auction to decide next direction
MUMBAI, June 20 (Reuters) - Indian government bonds recovered slightly in early deals on Friday following a massive selloff in the previous session on concerns about rising oil prices, with the bonds' next move dependent on the demand at the weekly debt auction. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond was at 6.2963% as of 10:00 a.m. IST, compared with the previous close of 6.3095%. The five-year 6.75% 2029 bond was at 5.9924% after ending at 6.0236% on Thursday. New Delhi will sell bonds worth 270 billion rupees ($3.12 billion), which includes 150 billion rupees of the 2029 bond. The yield on this paper has risen 20 basis points in the last two weeks. "So far, volumes are too shallow to judge whether the move will sustain through the day," said a trader with a private bank. Bond yields jumped sharply in the previous session as worries that oil prices will further spike have kept investors on edge. Yields move inversely to prices. The benchmark Brent crude was around $77 per barrel during Asia hours on Friday as the Israel-Iran conflict continued, while uncertainty about potential U.S. involvement encouraged caution among investors. India imports a bulk of its crude oil needs, and higher prices could impact its inflation outlook. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of India reduced its inflation forecast for the current fiscal year to 3.7%, while cutting its key lending rate by a steeper-than-expected 50 basis points. It, however, reverted to a "neutral" stance from "accommodative", prompting analysts to forecast the end of the monetary easing cycle. The minutes of this meeting are due after market hours on Friday. Indian overnight index swap (OIS) rates eased after witnessing paying pressure in the previous session. The one-year OIS rate and the two-year OIS rate were at 5.51% each, while the liquid five-year was 2 bps down at 5.73% ($1 = 86.5850 Indian rupees) (Reporting by Dharamraj Dhutia; Editing by Harikrishnan Nair)
