FURNITURE DESIGN TREND THAT WILL SHAPE OUR FUTURE Four key takeaways in interior and furniture trends from Milan Design Week 2018 1. INTEGRATION OF MULTIPLE FUNCTIONALITY: Though it is not new to add more than one function in a product, this time I could find a wave of this concept throughout the exhibition. It is not easy to create products or designs with multiple functions in one unit. This challenge has probably tickled the minds of designers to try new ideas. I have spotted chairs with excellent acoustic barriers (Artikepo), a shower spotted that’s also a lamp (Fima Carlo Frattini), a bath that’s also a gym (Scavolini), a cabinet that’s also a speaker (Paulo Cappello) and so on... 2. WHY WASTE ANY WASTE: As awareness is growing, designers are searching for waste materials to use for designing meaningful things. Trashplast is plastic made from 100% waste. It is created by interlocking pieces of woodworking waste materials. 3. A MORE TECH-DRENCHED WORLD FOR SO-CALLED ‘BETTER EXPERIENCE’: Milan Design Week saw Google’s debut installation, ‘Softwear,’ an installation that showcased real-life connection with tech. Panasonic showcased ‘Air Inventions’ a huge ‘water-drop pavilion’ that showed their latest airconditioning technology, allowing visitors to experience the cleanest, purest air in Milan. Miele introduced the world first: the Miele Dialog oven and its innovative M Chef technology. 4. DESIGN AIDING FITNESS, WELLNESS AND GOOD LIVING: After wellness, which is continuing to rule the design domain, fitness has taken designers by storm. Last year I wrote about ‘Furniture that aids fitness’ and this year I saw Kengo Kuma’s giant spiralling air-purifying sculpture in the SuperStudio with the ability to absorb the emissions of 90,000 cars per year. It is called ‘breath/ng,’ 6 meters tall and has 120 hand-folded panels. This is the kind of design we need, and I deeply respect Kengo’s work. Similarly, young designers were seen showcasing products that aid fitness at work.

Jodhpur-Jaipur Furniture exports:
high dollar helping export biz Jodhpur-Jaipur based furniture exporters are breathing easy with rising prices of dollar against rupee. It is noted that the furniture manufacturers of these clusters are mainly dependent on export business, which was reported to slow after implementation of GST, when it was levied at 28 % initially and later came down to 18 %. But the recent strong dollar against rupee by approx 17 % since January is helping the exporters to maintain their business growth. Although furniture manufacturers of Jodhpur cluster say to FDT, that the buyer are asking for discounts on new orders and some of them have on hold the new orders or shifting them to those who can offer the product on less price.
Furniture makers also opine that the prices of glue, surfactants and raw materials have increased considerably high due to strong dollar. Also, the increasing activity for certification of timber has pushed the manufacturers to be dependent on imported wood, but the increasing dollar has put a barrier on their use due to price viability which are putting manufactures in tight situation for timber. “Increasing raw material cost has negatively impacted the industry. After a short gain due to strengthening dollar for two months the negative impact has started appearing as the new increased price quotations are coming in to manufacturers which will affect them in long run. The industry is more dependent on imported
availability oF Wood The wood availability is at comfortable position but the price has gone up after Shisham has been put on appendix 2. The business has been affected despite of abandoned availability of Shisham because buyers are not willing to go into lot of paper works for its procurement and they are taking raw material from Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. So work with Shisham has gone down but there is no problem of availability of wood at Jodhpur, Jaipur etc. Timber price has gone up due to various reasons such as GST, Petrol/ Diesel Price hike. The shifting to Mango wood has increased its demand by many folds, but this is also in plan to bring under certification process. In

raw material. We have observed 10 percent boost in revenue but nearly 17% increased price are coming in to manufacturers. Secondly The rising transportation cost has increased the input cost for furniture manufacturing,” said Mr Bharat Dinesh, President, Jodhpur Handicrafts Exporters’ Association (JHEA). This year the exporters are witnessing the change and are observing boost in revenue by 10 percent due to strengthening dollar price. But, the export volume is same as they are exporting the same 1500 containers per month. Jaipur and Jodhpur is long known for its designer and hand crafted designs hardwood furniture for exports to different countries specially US and Europe. The leading hardwood furniture exporters from Jodhpur say that “We were much comfortable if there is a smooth movement in economy, but for last six months dollar is rising continuously which has disturbed our activity. It is apparent that export volume in terms of revenue has increased by 10 % till date but the fresh orders are not coming and importers are asking for discount.” The manufacturers are also in fear that the competitor can offer them at lesser price and existing customers’ base will be disturbed.

MDF alMost replaceD 6MM plywooD application Dealers opine that 6 mm plywood mainly applies for backer purpose of wardrobes/furniture, which is attached with the wall that is source of moisture and termite. Low quality 6 mm plywood is very sensitive to moisture and termite, which tends to damage wardrobes and furniture. Another dealer blames emergence of low quality 6 mm plywood market is the main reason of growing MDF usages in this category.
FDT survey clearly finds that MDF is taking most share of plywood in 6 mm thickness with fast speed. It is found that the economical grade 6 mm plywood manufacturing is decreasing gradually because this market is almost captured by MDF segment. The producers of 6 mm plywood mainly located in Lucknow, Patna, Siliiguri, etc area confirm that they have almost stopped the production of 6 mm plywood because there is very little demand. Although, report suggests that high quality 6 mm plywood demand still maintained its market, hence if a producer wants to sell 6 mm plywood, he has to manufacture good quality and approach the good quality buyers.
12
Sep-Oct 2018
Similar situation happened in 4 mm thickness plywood also, which is now completely replaced by other panels due to low quality. The Survey also hints that slowly MDF is eyeing toward 9 mm plywood application, and gradually growing. HDHMR MDF range is another hope for MDF sector growth over plywood, and if the plywood producers don’t improve the quality of its 12 mm thickness, then trend sees acceptance of MDF is 12 mm as well after some time.

Pidilite targets towns with 2l PoPulation for growth The Rs 5,300-crore company operates the businesses of Fevicol, Dr. Fixit (waterproofing), Fevikwik and M-Seal (maintenance), and Fevicol MR, Fevigum, Fevistik, Rangeela, Fevicryl (art stationary) as separate go-to market channels, with each business having separate distribution and sales teams in large cities.
After expanding its reach to towns and villages, with populations of 50,000-2 lakh, Fevicol-maker Pidilite Industries has put in place a focused team under an ‘Emerging India’ division to unlock growth potential in these markets. In 2003-2004, Pipdilite had set up the ‘Rurban’ channel as a ‘One Pidilite’ division, selling all products in towns and villages with populations of less than 50,000. This drove growth through focus on penetration and market development in these under-served areas. As a result, these regions were growing consistently higher than urban India. To replicate the success of Ruban in around 500 under-served small towns with 50,000-2 lakh population, a separate team was deployed to create the One Pidilite model called ‘Small Town India’. The Emerging India division is a combination of Rurban and Small Town India, catering to centres with less than 2 lakh population. 14
Sep-Oct 2018
Although nearly 40% of Pidilite’s business comes from Fevicol, Dr. Fixit – a leading product in fixing leakages – is fast catching up as the brand competes against non-consumption. “Pidilite has been a pioneer in many ways. We spot under-served consumer needs and fill them with a brand. My task is to grow the core, the growth businesses and identify pioneer businesses (such as flooring, end-to-end water proofing facilities),” said Puri.
Pidilite Industries MD Bharat Puri told TOI, “By having a focused team for the under-served towns, we are able to unlock the growth potential of these areas through sheer focus and resource deployment.” Mr Puri said, “Unlike an FMCG company that has to only make its products available in rural India, I have to not only make it available to our customers – essentially masons and carpenters – but also teach them on how to use these products. It’s about changing behaviours. So, we have created a new business called Emerging India, which includes small towns and rural, by merging our sales forces. Earlier we were going as separate divisions for Fevicol and Fevikwik.”
With the One Pidilite model, the company is actively tracking 230 outlets per lakh of population. The benchmark is to increase this to more than 300 outlets. What excite Puri are the transitions visible across social demographics. “While rich India is mirroring the west, middle India is moving into more furniture and aspirant India is starting to buy chairs and tables, the pyramid has shifted from 5-15-80 (percentage from top to bottom) to 10-30-60. There are a lot of opportunities for pioneer businesses,” he said, while adding, Five years from now, we will keep going into adjacencies, without losing sight of the core.”

WPC and Its densIty: PerCePtIon and FaCts There are many discussions going over Density of WPC and it needs to be understood with the correct meaning. Density calculation can be done as per the mass per unit volume, in general. Now the point is ‘Density of WPC material should be decided and supplied based on its final application/end use. WPC boards being used in furniture making with 0.55 or 0.60 density are quite good. Because PVC/ WPC boards are used in furniture making with ‘Screw & Solvent’ method only where solvent welds PVC materials. Screws also can be used with PVC grips, which will be weld with solvent (Cyanoacrylate) material and creates good grip between screw and WPC board. As time goes and screw gets loosen sometime, you can take a tiny piece of PVC/ WPC material, weld it with Cyanoacrylate material and screw again at the same place! Maintenance of WPC material like this is very easy and user himself also can do it. In the above discussion most important point is ‘Density’, where people are getting confused. Now with ‘Screw & Solvent’ method you can make panel furniture, but with use of ‘Solvent Welding’ also you can make Panel furniture without a Screw. This is a very important practice for the carpentry market. You all have seen a plumber fixing one PVC pipe to another PVC pipe - just with that solvent cement. Yes, the same phenomenon happens here with PVC/ WPC also. Don’t forget those pipes are hanging since many years from the terrace to the ground floor of an apartment. It means the worry of Density remains only with the panel furniture made with screw fixing. 16
Sep-Oct 2018
Emphasizing clearly - if you want to make a small/medium size shoe rack then 0.45 Density board with solvent welding method is perfectly fine, no needs screw - so no worry of Density here. Wardrobe drawers, small storage units, bathroom vanity, small seating many furniture objects can be made with 0.45 Density & solvent welding only, as they don’t need any structural strength in it’s use. Yes, in case of large size furniture e.g. Wardrobe, File rack, Kitchen cabinets need structural strength and here WPC material of 0.55-0.60 density should be used with screw & solvent method.
Similarly WPC door frame is also best suitable beyond 0.80 density only. More density means more technical strength, means more compression & tensile strength, means higher price also! So now it is quite clear that the Density of WPC material should be decided based on the Application & Method of use. Customers and carpenter friends also should be informed/educated with this, so that 100% termite & water proof WPC material can be used more technically. Contribute - HARDYPLAST in favour of WPC & markets.

If a different tone is required, Douglas fir is also known for holding all types of stains, finishes, and paints very well. It’s no secret that Douglas fir is a superior wood choice for interior doors as well. They add natural beauty to the interior design of any home, and come in a variety of styles to suit the decor of your choice. Available in styles with a single wood Douglas fir is one of the best known wood species in the world. In British Columbia there are two varieties of Douglas fir, Coastal and Interior. The Coastal variety occurs along the southern mainland Coast and across Vancouver Island, except for the very northern tip. The Interior variety is found throughout southern British Columbia, and as far north as the centre of the province. Douglas fir is primarily used for building and construction purposes due to its strength advantages and availability of large dimensions from old-growth trees. It is one of the finest timbers for heavy structural purposes, including laminated arches and roof trusses. Structurally, it is used in the form of lumber, timbers and plywood. It is seen as a first class wood for the manufacturing of sashes, doors and windows. The wood is also used to produce a wide variety of products including general millwork, flooring, furniture, cabinets, veneer and poles. In simpler terms, that means it’s tough and durable. It can handle a heavy load without bending or buckling. These are important considerations when you’re building a glulam beam structure or a pre-fab home. Let’s also talk about stability. Douglas fir is known for being very dimensionally stable - means that when it expands and contracts due to moisture in the environment (as all woods do), it holds its shape better than most species. Douglas fir also has a light, rosy colour that’s unique and differentso one can simply seal it with a clean finish and

HyDerabaD FurniTure May wiTness cHange aFTer MarkeT: Opening OF ikea sHOwrOOM!
Hyderabad furniture market is witnessing a change and leading the path having good growth in every segment of furniture in this city. With the opening of IKEA store in Hyderabad the local players are alert and calculating the pros and cons of this change. Furniture Design & Technology (FDT) visited Hyderabad recently and find out the supply and demand scenario and to know what will be the effect of IKEA in the regional furniture market like Hyderabad. A report!
18
Sep-Oct 2018
Hyderabad is over Rs. 1000 crore market for loose furniture. Currently market is going on good pace with increasing disposable income of middle class in the region. IKEA also has opened its store in Hyderabad recently. Is this good or bad for local players? In conversation with Furniture Design & Technology (FDT) Magazine the furniture manufacturers and traders say that there would be another
benchmark for sales in terms of pricing with the new entrants. They opined that people used to think that IKEA will be cheap, but the scenario is different. Many of the local traders observe that the Swedish furniture major has range of products with different price band. While some of the traders observe that the material offered by IKEA is not up the expectation of the people in the region i.e. a bed made of particle board
MARKET REPORT
and MDF is priced at Rs 25,000 at IKEA while a teak wood bed is available at Rs 40,000 in local market. The quality liking people do not like to have non-durable products. IKEA has range of products including home furnishing and decor materials which are worth appreciating but they lack on offering hardwood durable furniture. Secondly, their DIY (do it yourself) concept also will not attract customers of high end segment, says the local traders. But, the furniture with different concept with IKEA and traditional
manufacturing with local players will expand the horizon and customers’ base will increase resulting to have growth in the market benefiting all. There are around 50/60 big players in furniture and home decor segment in the city market places located at Banjara Hills, Jubli Hills, Gachibowli, Nampalli, Ameetpet, Hightech City, etc who have customers base of quality buyers in Hyderabad. Besides, Nampalli station road is one of the oldest furniture markets serving local people of all classes. These market places also
bear a number of manufacturing units (nearly 10,000 small and big) which are feeding them with finished goods. Most of the workers in this market are from out of Telangana like Bihar, UP, Odisha and Rajasthan. The market was a bit slow in rainy season but the players are hopeful to have a strong boost in sale with the beginning of festival seasons. It is also evident that furniture showrooms mushrooming at almost every city outskirts have also affected the local market sales.

MARKET REPORT
With the opening of IKEA showroom, the local players are riding on both the situation of fear and happiness as some of them are observing that they can lose their shares on the other hand many players are hopeful for the market expansion, with coming up new concept and designs from overseas country and increasing base for modular and functional furniture.
Mr. Shatish G, Partner, Timber Craft, Jublli Hills, Hyderabad
The opening of IKEA store in Hyderabad is good for us as there is another benchmark for the pricing. Secondly Indian test is very much customised to have quality products, so there is no effect of IKEA on Hyderabad furniture market. People who visited IKEA after a while (say one week) are coming back with conviction that in the same price they were getting better products and quality here and footfall at our showrooms has improved. People are also not happy with IKEA’s ‘DO IT YOURSELF’ concept and the quality of products. I can’t say its IKEA’s wrong decision, because India is such a big market and small players are not to take all the others. IKEA will have to spend another ten years to understand Indian market. If they go into Indian style, they will lose at power of pricing and after sales service as even for assembling they are charging more.
There is 35 percent market share for modular furniture segment. Still people are willing to make their furniture from carpenters. We can’t say anything about IKEA store in Hyderabad as it is a recent launch, so whenever anyone launches new things, the consumers get attracted towards it. After three months from now we can say that people are really liking IKEA products or next time they will visit IKEA store or not. In coming time they will definitely affect the local market as whatever they are selling is directly going from our market place. People perception is that design is good but quality of the product is not good. So, people have to think that why there is low pricing.
Mr. B Trun, Partner, Marvel Modular
This is a market which deals in wood (mostly Teak) and many other new materials like MDF and wood particle board from different players. In my opinion there would be not much effect as many players like Metro Furniture, D Mall furniture etc had also created air for 4/5 months, after that everything turns normal. I think with the entry of IKEA the situation will be almost same. There is no need to worry as they are not very much challenging to the local market with their different selling concept and delicate products base. So, with them the market will also expand and everyone will be benefited with it.

MARKET REPORT
IKEA is a mass furniture, or even not furniture; it is furnishing brand like accessories and decorative items across the world. People who are living abroad are very well known to them. It will not affect our sales as we do every furniture unique. People definitely wanted to see IKEA once before visiting any other store to have an idea. Mass producers may get affected in the long run.
Mr. Deepak Kumar, Owner, The Interior Park (furniture mall) Furniture market will not get disturbed but ancillary and other decorative material market will definitely be affected. As of today we are not observing any such impact as most of the leading furniture traders are older than 50 years and they have their own customer base with goodwill in the market. Nampalli market is far away from the location of IKEA store in Hyderabad so it will not be affected. If there would be any they can affect their surroundings like Madapur, Gondapur, Kukkadpalli, Hitech Center, etc a little.
Mr. Jitendra Kumar, owner of Allwin Furnitures Telangana Furniture market (Nampalli, Hyderabad) is one of the leading furniture markets in India catering nearby states’ adjoining to Telangana having sales of Rs one crore everyday. The IKEA will not affect us much as they have different concepts. Their products will also be costly as most of the products are foreign based. Only 30 percent are being procured from India. IKEA is home furnishing brand not a furniture brand so, bulk buyers will also not like to purchase from there. Traditional or familial people will not like IKEA furniture, but modern people may get attracted. In coming days there may be some effect just by 10- 20% in terms of sells shift. It will also expand the market as there would be a number of new items, designs and quality offerings from the industry players.
Mr. Rakesh Kumar, Owner, Sri Krishna Furniture & Interiors Office segment people will definitely get attracted. Till date there is no drop down in our sales. In fact we are getting good customers these days even from far away regions which are 400 to 500 km. According to the customers feedback that there are a vast range of products so we think after six months there must be some impact. With increasing competition we are losing customers as many shops are being opened in outskirts. Another factor is division of state, now people of AP like to go to Bangalore these days.
Mr. B Guru Raj, Owner, Batcha Marketing Sep-Oct 2018

MARKET REPORT
After six months we can calculate the effect. Till date there is no customer has come to us to give a comparison. But it is definite that we will be affected as they will observe the loss making policy first and after two years start making profit, this is a tendency of overseas players. So, breaking the local market they may play a loss games, what the overseas e-commerce companies have done in India. We also know that as the market expands the benefit will increase. Only 10 % people purchase at malls rest still prefer local markets. Before IKEA there are a number of furniture malls and that have no affected local market.
Mr. Arvind Jain, Owner, Evoke’s Office Solutions They don’t have office furniture at larger scale. They are basically in home furnishing and offering products which are used as decorative and interior designs. The effect will not appear as of now, it will take time, may be after six months we can give a correct figure.

Mr. Punkaj Kumar, Team Leader/Store Manager, Evoke by Hindustan Sanitary ware & Industries Limited (HSIL)
We are into plywood and laminate but it is an observation that people belonging to sofa and curtain may get affected in coming time. As of now people are just passing time and enjoying IKEA as a picnic spot.
They lead in home decor material. They offer hardwood furniture mostly made of Sweden and Malaysian pine wood and MDF. These types of furniture are already available locally which is known as cheap material products. The advantage of IKEA is their innovation of design and its usability. We are dealing in classical, ethnic and modern furniture manufactured ourselves made of teak wood, solid wood, Shisham. We also import from Germany, Malaysia and Italy since last 65 years and have a wide market of southern India. 22
Owner, Gruha Shobha
Home decor and furniture division may get effect a little in future but brand value is stronger enough to face the competition. Locally we are not seeing any impact as our business is happening and also see people are coming from their and booking orders at us because you know the Indian mentality of using durable products, that’s what we offer. We are happy with entry of IKEA.
IKEA is not an Indian concept as people here like durability. IKEA offerings are like use and through which will attract only to the people who are movable which accounts only 20 percent of the new generation. Those who are settled at one place will not like the delicacy of IKEA offerings. We are giving better quality with goodwill of a brand on same price in modular furniture segment. Also the customers loving carving and hardwood furniture will also not like them. But the mass producers feeding corporate sector and lower middle class will somehow get affected in long run.

IKEA Showroom at Hyderabad IKEA opened its first retail store in India (50th country in the world) at Hyderabad on August 9, 2018. The world’s largest furniture retail store chain’s Hyderabad store is spread in nearly 4 lakh sq ft with built in three story building and a huge parking space in the basement.

The only disadvantage is that most of the customers in India are not familiar with its do-it-yourself concept but for them IKEA is offering paid on assemble service in association with UrbanClap, a local start up dealing in furniture and its repairing.

Today, without an element of doubt, I am confident living in a country that offers more opportunities than most others in the world. We have a democracy that is stable. We have peace and stability without the threat of war and conflict. We have large young population where more than half of our people are below the age of 30. An aspiring and growing middle class with millions of Indians who are the first in their families to be educated, to hold jobs that are not on farms, to buy cars, computers and phones, to buy homes that need to be furnished. The sheer size and scale of our market makes this one of the best industries in the country to be part of. Today the organized market comprises only around 15% of the total output in the industry, the balance is from carpenter groups and small scale craftsmen. ~Mr. Geoffrey Nagpal, MD, Ebco Pvt. Ltd. How do you identify the need of a product so precisely?

With the experience of more than thirty years behind us, we understand the Indian market very well. We are a dynamic and responsive company that is able to listen and adapt to customer feedback and needs – we develop products based on sound research and our distribution network across India is one of our greatest assets. We continue to evolve along with the market and understand and embrace change. We have a large and robust research and development infrastructure with a full-fledged design department, tool room, heat treatment and phosphating. We recently commissioned our 3rd CNC milling machine which has quickened the new product development process.
We have experienced growth over the past years. Our team at the top – Ashley Nagpal, Technical Director, Rajesh Nair, Sales & Marketing Director and Nishant Nagpal, Director have been working hard to push us into the future. What has worked well for us is our ability to listen to what customers want and develop products that do more with limited spaces.
We prioritize certain categories and products for the year ahead and our product development process aligns with market priorities and opportunities. We look for new products every quarter to feed our in-house development process. We usually try to build on the products we currently have, making improvements in design and functionality to benefit the customer. When thinking of what to develop, it is also important to keep the range fresh

Can you brief us about Ebco’s manufacturing establishments & imports? We have three manufacturing plants, one in Vasai and two in Palghar that are running at full capacity and specialize in a number of different products. We are globally competitive in all the products that we manufacture. To complete our range, we source some products from international specialists. Most products in our kitchen range are European.
To source any product, is there any joint venture or collaboration with foreign companies too? For some products, we have collaborations with international specialists. For kitchens, we work with Peka Switzerland. Similarly, we work with Salice Italy for a different range of products. These collaborations depend on the products. For any given item, if it suits us to make it in-house, we do so. If it is best to source the product, we move in this direction. In many cases, we develop products specially for the Indian market, which are made using the manufacturing strengths of strong foreign manufacturers.
Which product do you believe is the most inspiring for India market in terms of innovation & other factors during last two years of developments? We have many fantastic and innovative products. We allow keyless access to drawers by eliminating the need to carry (and then misplace) keys, with a 4-digit combination lock. We have just released a lockable laptop drawer so that a user can leave their computers at work. We empower the user to be able to stand or sit at her desk, which allows better blood circulation, engagement of core muscle strength, comfort and increased productivity. We have gas variants of height adjustable desks to eliminate the need for electric motors and make these products more affordable in the market. We enable a user to use and adjust not just one but two monitors side by side to any angle and height to best suit what is comfortable, keyboards can be adjusted to any height and working angle that prevents carpal tunnel syndrome and other stress related aches and pains. We have used the concept of motion give you smart products that move, retract, fold, open and close: including wall beds, storage beds, dining and utility tables, fold-away coffee tables that can be laterally folded and moved to a corner when cleaning a coffee shop – all with the principle of using space (which is at a premium in the small apartments of a large city), more effectively.
We are expanding and improving our current infrastructure. We have acquired land next to our Vasai plant and have just commenced building construction. This will further augment our production capacities, especially for aluminium profiles. Unit 2 in Palghar has recently been expanded which has improved our sales of window fittings. 26
Sep-Oct 2018
What are your views on organised & unorganised working post GST? We have grown 30% during the last 6 months and the effects of GST are now becoming visible. GST supports the workings of organized companies that pay taxes and follow all rules (such as Ebco). The initial implementation was muddled and there were multiple changes to tax slabs – furniture fittings were first put into the 28% GST slab which was unfortunate. After changing this to 18% after six months, things settled down and we have benefited from the system that is now fair. GST also brings about improvements in transportation efficiencies as well as a less complex tax system. We used to have the C form system and regimes such as Octroi and LBT which hampered workings and caused much deadweight loss. All these have been subsumed by GST and this is very positive for industry.
How Ebco is helping the growth of organised furniture sector in India? The opportunities that exist in the organized furniture industry in India are vast – and we have built up our production capacities, product range and distribution capabilities to support growth. There are small number of very large organized furniture manufacturers and a larger number of small furniture manufacturers in the industry. We make high quality, durable and smart fittings available to all in the furniture industry, which allows the manufacturer to produce better, longer lasting, aesthetically superior products in shorter periods of time and at reasonable costs. Furniture manufacturers can focus on their production, woodworking and quality and do not need to divert their attention to importing fittings.

For kitchens, we work with Peka Switzerland. Similarly, we work with Salice Italy for a different range of products. For any given item, if it suits us to make it in-house, we do so. If it is best to source the product, we move in this direction. In many cases, we develop products specially for the Indian market, which are made using the manufacturing strengths of strong foreign manufacturers.
That being said, the industry has to become more skilled, professional and growth oriented by developing products suited for Indian customers, by hiring good people and expanding capacities. Product availability had helped other segments like consumer durables, clothes, automobiles, etc. and the same is happening in the furniture industry. We are excited about the evolution that the next 10-15 years will bring with them.
How will home and kitchen furnishing will support growth? The kitchen and home furniture segments are very different from the office furniture segment. The decision makers are usually brand conscious, want the best for the family and will invest in designs and innovations more readily than a professional purchase manager (that usually makes decisions for office furniture) may have the flexibility to do. When people have stable jobs with regular incomes, they
can now make their dream of owning a home a reality. Every home has a kitchen, at least one bedroom and maybe a living room.Every bedroom needs a bed and wardrobe and storage space, every kitchen needs cabinets and fittings and every living room needs dining furniture and sofas. When children arrive, space saving furniture, foldable wall beds, sofa beds, retractable study tables, folding dining tables and other smart products are able to change what a house can do. The opportunities are once again vast.
What are the future plans of Ebco? Today we are occupied with our plans for the current year. We are expanding and improving our current infrastructure. We have acquired land next to our Vasai plant and have just commenced building construction. This will further augment our production capacities, especially for aluminium profiles. Unit 2 in Palghar has recently been expanded which has improved our sales of window fittings. We are also focused on many brand building initiatives – our two sub brands LivSmart (intelligent hardware for homes) and WorkSmart (ergonomic hardware for offices) are also gaining recognition in the market. We continue to introduce a large number of new products every month. We have more than 4500 products in 12 segments and we introduce 20 to 30 new products
every month. In the last 90 days, we have introduced more than one product a day!
How do you see the new government policies shaping Indian business during the last two years? Demonetization was an unfortunate step and was poorly implemented – this caused much pain across many industries. GST was a good step forward but had many issues in its implementation including the lack of clarity on many processes and systems, too many tax slabs that were too high and the general complexity of the system. Things have now settled. There has been little or no progress on very important areas which would help Indian businesses, especially manufacturers, tremendously – labour laws, land laws & infrastructure development. Factories in the far-East employ large numbers of people (large specialists can employ upwards of 5000-10000 people). In India, because of archaic laws, companies do not expand hiring freely. This is tragic as India needs employment to grow if its population is to be served fairly by the government.
How do you see the entry of IKEA in India? Will it help the brands like Ebco? IKEA is very interesting. The company has done well in high cost, high wage, non-availability of labour economies. The Indian environment is different

We are very strong in the office furniture segment – we have a wide range of products including height adjustable desks, articulated keyboard stations, CPU stations, computer monitor arms, full panel drawer slides, cable management accessories, electric switch boxes and a variety of other products. These can be used in many different types of offices. and time will tell how successful Ikea will be in India. I think that some of their products will be very successful while others will not be viable. We are eagerly watching how it all shapes up for Indian consumers. To us, success will be determined by the ratio of costs, usefulness and quality of products to wages and affordability. Ikea products will not necessarily be perceived as low cost in India.
What is your opinion on future growth prospects of furniture industry in India? We are in the best industry in the world. The Indian furniture market is unique and value based. Although the government has tried to stimulate manufacturing in India, there has been little felt on the ground with respect to improvements of labour laws or better infrastructure. This is why the service industry has become and continues to be India’s strength. We have a large number of young English speaking talent that aspires to work in technology, banking, call centers and other service industries. While China went from the farm to the factory, India is going from the farm to desk. Large companies such as Microsoft, Deloitte, Google, TCS hire hundreds of thousands of people every year in large well-planned technology parks and campuses, while smaller business engaged in technology and
other services also contribute towards absorbing human capital. This keeps demand for new office space and furniture healthy. Home owners want to buy furniture that can last at least ten years without having replaced or repaired. They want space saving innovations with utility, quality and specific designs. In the country which today we are a part of, the organised market comprises only 15% of the total output in the industry. The balance is towards carpenter groups and small scale prospects. Over a period of time as it has happened in other developed countries, the informal sector will shrink and the organised sector will be broad and the customers will begin to switch.
What is your message to the industry? We are all very fortunate to be blessed with the market and the potential that we have here in India. We now need to take full advantage of this by developing the markets, investing our time and energy into professionalizing our businesses, hiring good people and most importantly – catering to the needs of our customers. Companies should plan for large volumes – only then can one take advantage of economies of scale with our large market.

INTERVIEW
Globally water based Coatings has been in lot of news especially since last decade due it its growing appeal of eco-friendly nature and lower volatile matter contents. However, real applications has been slower than what many anticipated mainly because of significantly higher cost compared to performance when compared to its solvent borne counterpart. Additionally in Water based Coatings, water need to be evaporated from coatings to form the film which has lower rate of evaporation compared to most of solvents as well as dependency upon climatic conditions making it less suitable for industrial production.
How much consumption is there, tell me about Wood Coating Industry in India? Wood Coating market in India is still at a nascent stage and its share compared to total Paint consumption is significantly lower than other Asian as well as developed countries. Global average of wood coatings as percentage of total coating business is about 8%, in China it is about 12% whereas in India it’s just about 3%. So India has lot of catch up, work to be done to achieve wood coating market share in line with its other global Peers. Indian Coating Industry currently stands out to be roughly Rs. 50,000
crore and wood coating business is about Rs 1,500 crore in this. Generally wood working favours countries with competitive labour force and that has been reason of Wood Coating market in Asian Countries presenting higher percentage compared to Global average. Considering this fact along with competitive and skilled Indian labour market, we could expect wood coating business to be growing faster than other coating segments in the time to come.
Which application enjoy the larger market share, and why? Indian Wood Coating market is still majority driven by retailers and
contractors in which it is difficult to differentiate leading application segments but in past one decade there has been growing trend of Industrialization where there has been trend of organized factories coming in segments like Door production. On other side we have market like Rajasthan and Western UP where there are sizable number of factories making solid furniture and handicrafts for exports. Looking at current market trend we think Door production could be one area where we could see higher number of organized factories in the time to come.
What is the latest trend in coating in international market vs. trend in India? Mature International market such as Europe can be divided into four parts: Polyurethane Coatings, UV cured, Water based and others which roughly account for 40%, 35%, 12% and 13% market shares. In recent years there has been growing market trend of water based coatings due to increasing government regulations on volatile matter emission as well as consumer preferences changing towards more eco-friendly products. In India market is still dominated with one component Lacquers and Melamine

though there has been consistent increase in the market share of Polyurethane coatings. In the years to come trend is likely to change in line with international market trends where in we could expect to see Polyurethane and UV cured products replacing the part of Melamine and Lacquers.
Your view on water based Wood Coating? Globally water based Coatings has been in lot of news especially since last decade due it its growing appeal of eco-friendly nature and lower volatile matter contents. However, real applications has been slower than what many anticipated mainly because of significantly higher cost compared to
performance when compared to its solvent borne counterpart. Additionally in Water based Coatings, water need to be evaporated from coatings to form the film which has lower rate of evaporation compared to most of solvents as well as dependency upon climatic conditions making it less suitable for industrial production. There are areas such as exterior wood where water based coatings has advantage over solvent borne system and those applications have been growing.
What are the coating aesthetics and cost advantage over laminates? Major driver of coatings are not the cost rather aesthetic appeal which are
significantly higher than laminates. Laminates are easier to handle, offers faster productivity and favourable cost dynamics. Coatings are rather expensive and more difficult to produce without proper scale of operation but aesthetic appeal with coatings is significantly better.
Who is the biggest player in market and what has worked for them with respect to consumer awareness? Wood Coating market is still too young to define industry leaders but Asian Paints could have largest market share driven by its huge retail presence.
What is market share of regional players or new imported brands? In premium segment imported brands are having major market share due to their superior technology compared to indigenous players. In mid range products like Melamine, Indian producers such as Asian Paints has major market. In lower end segments such as lacquers market is divided in local players and major Indian manufacturers.
As coating has a numerous types and applications, what is the ratio of consumption in modular and hardwood furniture segments? So far Indian wood coating market has been predominantly contractor driven but off the late with advent of Industrial production, there is growing demand with modular and hardwood furniture. As of now market share of modular and hardwood furniture should be about 15% or so as compared to total wood coating consumption.
What are the challenges before the industry for its growth? Major challenges come from lack of Industrialization of Wood working 32

How was the market condition when Kupsa entered India and Now? Please share Kupsa market share at present? Kupsa Coatings entered in Indian market in 2011 as 60:40 venture with Kupsa Spain. Team at Kupsa Coatings comes from highly technical background which has been reason of its different approach compared to market trends. Since inception our focus has always been into building inhouse capabilities in terms of product development as well as manufacturing and today we would be among very few companies having such strong technical & production capabilities related to Wood Coating in the country. Business has grown from humble Rs 2 crore in 2012-13 to about Rs 35 crores in financial year 2017-18 and we have received several awards including “FASTEST GROWING INDIAN COMPANY” by “International achievers summit, Bangkok” , “YOUNG ENTREPRENUOUR OF YEAR” by International Achievers summit, New Delhi and “ OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN MANUFACTURING & CUSTOMER SATISFACTION” by Indian Economic development & research association. If we see market share of Kupsa Coatings in terms of total market it would be about 2% but if we see market share of Kupsa Coating in our product segments which are Polyurethanes and Water based Coating, then it would be about 11% considering the fact that Premium Wood Coating market is about 20% of total wood coating market. In Industrial Wood Coating market, we are now among top few players in the country. Our focus for comings years is
Global average of wood coatings as percentage of total coating business is about 8%, in China it is about 12% whereas in India it’s just about 3%.

Indian Coating Industry currently stands out to be roughly Rs. 50,000 crore and wood coating business is about Rs 1,500 crore in this.
going to be into retail market where we seek to increase our market share in coming 4-5 years.
What is the present overall scenario in India w.r.to Price vs. Quality? Or your view on competition? Price vs. quality in India is still higher than international market but it’s catching up fast. With more Industrial Coating producer like Kupsa Coatings coming and setting production factories in India, we can expect in next 5-6 years Price vs. quality situation could come in line with mature markets.
Which region/industry is the major focus area for Kupsa and why? Past five years we have grown our presence in almost entire north, south and west part of India as these are areas where wood coating is more industrialized but in the coming time we aim to broaden our network to almost PAN India.
How one shall choose wood coating material for applications? Technologies in Wood Coatings are quite wide and deep starting from one component NC lacquers, to Melamine, Polyurethanes, UV cured, water based and so on. It’s recommended to contact technical support staff of coating supplier to have right information and knowledge of coatings relevant to application.
Are there efficient applicators available in the market, or how a company or coating trade shall address the issue? Our industry lacks skilled applicators and this is an important area need to be addressed to grow the Wood coating market in line with projections.
Can we expect a major jump in this industry as well, as had happened with paint industry in 1990s and revival in 2004 with nearly 13% of growth? Wood Coating industry has high potential for growth in coming decade. With favourable cost dynamics of skilled labour and growing middleclass income, in coming decade Wood Coating industry is expected to grow faster than other coating verticals and growth of 13-15% could be decent to expect.
Any suggestion or your view for the industry keeping future growth in mind? Our country is placed favourable in terms of growth and consumption of wood coating. To meet our growth trajectory it would be imperative to focus on indigenous technologies in terms of product development as well as production. Industry will be able to see its real growth potential if it is able to offer the products and technologies in line with international price and quality.

Adhesive mArket turns now consumers’ driven
A recent study done by the research team of FDT (Furniture Design & Technology) indicates that the era of companies’ approach of selling their adhesive products to their consumers have ended and turned into consumers’ demand market. Several companies’ representatives indicated that now consumers are asking for different types of adhesives because the awareness level has increased across the industries and consumers as well are more informed in this regard. Panel and woodworking industry is diversifying with different materials and applications where the numerous types of adhesives are required. With the changing scenario a number of players have ventured into this segment and existing players are diversifying their product range and adopting the advanced technology for better projection with different offerings and making their presence with great confidence. 34

The study also indicates that different types of wood are involved in furniture manufacturing which requires adhesive and now synthetic woods like PVC/ WPC are also opening a new avenue for this market. Earlier there were only laminate, people were talking about for adhesive applications for this but now, PVC, WPC, Acrylic, Veneer etc are there, so the demand of adhesive of individual materials are definitely increasing and companies are innovating considerably to offer them better solutions altogether for different materials. The survey also indicates that Premium adhesive market is growing but there is no movement in traditional or economical adhesive.

catching up. The ‘A’ class cities consumers are turning into this because this is eco-friendly and can be exported out of India without any problem. Secondly people are liking it because they are willing to use eco-friendly products. This is the new development happening in the adhesive market in India. The economical grade adhesive market is unstable due to capital crunch and is somehow trying to stabilize which will take another three months to stabilise. Lower segment adhesive have been struggling for their existence and middle segment is somehow managing their activity with the help of banking financial support. The experts’ form a leading adhesive companies in India indicated that the adhesive requirement for furniture market is growing by 15 to 20 percent. The higher demand is in South and East and the West is little less, but the North has now become a hub for furniture panel processing industry and so the demand is increasing day by day there as well. The future of adhesive demand lies with increasing industrial activity of furniture manufacturing. Currently it is with carpenter who enjoys the greater share with the ratio of 80:20 but very soon it will be surpassed and down the line for 15 years the data may reverse. Earlier the companies were making effort to sell their products but now the customers demand is there. Monopoly of the companies is being braking with changing requirements. Companies are in need of specifications of several materials not only for wood to laminate or wood to acrylic, there are different applications with different solutions being offered for interior and exterior needs, so companies have started making products with customers’ requirements. This is a good sign and it will lead to more new products to come into market. In the marketing level people are not running behind the brands, they are ready to accept the new if it satisfies them.
Adhesive Market: An overview Indian Adhesive market is huge and playing a major role in Asia Pacific region for its growth, since the region dominates the building and construction, packaging, automotive and wood working production, where adhesives are majorly used. The region is maintaining as a major consumer of adhesives since last three years and is expected to maintain this position throughout for the next five years. The market size at present is nearly Rs 8000 crore implying per capita consumption close to Rs 60 which is much lower than the developed economies like USA, Japan and Europe where it is nearly Rs 700. Currently, the major applications of adhesives in India and Asian regions are in furniture, packaging, automotive and construction.

Adhesive market is growing and new technologies are impending in with innovations where new machines, substrates and materials are being used in furniture’s and doors manufacturing. Our approaches to innovations are through upgrading within our products using new chemistry to build-in unique features and secondly closely work with customers/markets/carpenters and our dealers /distributors to make considerable changes according to their need/want gaps. The market is classified from premium to economy in furniture manufacturing segment, accordingly the demand of adhesive is there as per the consumers’ needs. We have to defend and grow our leadership position in the adhesive retail segment.
What changes happening in the industry is that, customers now started to demand the adhesive with their own specifications and adhesion with various materials, and the companies have started making products with their requirements. So, it is a good sign as more new products will come into market. Now-a-days people are not just behind the brands, they are ready to try and accept the new changes in the market and new brands as well if the product quality satisfies them. So it is ok with new development and we are ready to serve them. Earlier in this market some companies had a monopoly in several segments now customers are breaking the monopoly and that’s a good sign. We launched the Abro Zorrobond XP that have speed and fast curing and gives more coverage. The best water resistant adhesive Zorrobond WP that is for waterproofing and marine application.

The demands are coming from all across the country,” he added. “Basically this Indian finishing line has been meant for the small segment players like who are doing the kitchen shutters, wardrobes manufacturers, furniture
manufacturers,” he added further. This high end machine will be the game change in the Indian context because when they had launched this machine for the door and other panels, they observed that customers want greater facility at lowest price. After launching it is a good hit, still people feel it is expensive even though every facility like European machines and savings is there. It can process smaller to bigger size whatever one wants to paint can do, spraying will happen only to that component. It is available almost at 25 percent of cost of European machines with similar features. “The strategy to launch this machine is to focus on volume rather than price base. So we are targeting to get installation of 8 to 10 machines per month,” he revealed. In furniture industry the finishing line is much required as whether it is sofa, bed or other furniture items its small components require finishing.

Speaking on the objective of Furniture Cluster Meet 2018 Secretary Narendra Kumar said that the objective of organising furniture cluster event is to build a powerful network between the traders and manufacturers. Its first and second edition was conducted in Kodaikanal and third and fourth edition in Chennai. Now in this fourth edition of the cluster meet organised in Chennai nearly 550 industry professionals participated from South India. In this event we try to give a good platform for the industry players to have knowledge about the value of the core business, adopting atomisation. On the future of plywood for making furniture, he said’ “ Though WPC, MDF, Particle Board there are people started to like these materials; but in south India plywood only is the first thing, those who are related to architects/interiors also like plywood. In cities like Chennai, Bangalore,
Hyderabad where there is fast life people like particle board, MDF, etc,. Down the line for ten year from now there would be very much scarcity of wood then WPC may get successful in the market. During the meet Mr Govind Assudani, MD, HOMAG India speaking on the topic “Good Manufacturing Practices” said about the importance of smartphone in tracking manufacturing process and status of material consumed and output generated in a factory operation. He elaborated, “ At the end of the day you can see on your Smartphone that what the production was in your factory, number of panels used, number of furniture produced, how many sheets were used or how many hours there was breakdown, so these are information which will easily available to you.” He added further that the machines worldwide would be connected to Cloud with the software that is being developed. “You can also benchmark you factory with others’ factories number of pieces produced in China or US or Europe. This is the future towards manufacturing is going in. You will also get automatic reminders on your Smartphone regarding maintenance or inventory management. Coming to challenges, what I have experienced that we have many variables in our business, starting from machines, materials, manpower, cash flow, etc and one of the statement which was made into Sep-Oct 2018

Vaibhav Agarwal from IKEA speaking on ‘Expectations from Furniture Industry’ said, “IKEA is doing business globally, so what the quality mean is to offer the product which is value for money. Unless it is value for money the customers will not come to IKEA store. We are doing well and sustainable that is why we have created a brand across the world, and sustainability means we care people and brand. Low prices are very important for us because we see the customers’ choice and define the price according to them. In this way we have created better and convenient life for many people and we really mean it. We develop the product according to the customers need and what they expect for us. We have more than 9000 articles at our Hyderabad store and nearly 1000 article are under Rs 200 along with a number of product range varying from home furniture to lights, washroom accessories, decor items and many more.”
industries of the country primarily want quality but at very market driven price. Home owners want to buy furniture that can last at least ten years without having replaced or repaired. They want space saving innovations with utility, quality and specific designs. In the office furniture segment although the government has tried to stimulate manufacturing in India. It has been stimulated at the ground with respect to improvements yet no improvements at the level of overall infrastructure that is why in India the service industry like IT industry continues to be India’s strength,” he added.
Mr Geoffrey Nagpal, MD, Ebco Pvt Ltd said, “Indian furniture market is unique and value based. Customers in India in many

Large companies such as Microsoft, TCS, etc employee hundreds of people every year in large quantities where there are well planed technology parks and practices, where smaller businesses engage with technologies and adopting services, and it also contributing towards human capital. This keeps the demand of new office space and furniture needs. This would continue as the market develops and economy grows. Today the focus is not only on cost but on ergonomics, security, health, and well-being

in the sideline of the Meet the ply reporter chats with Mr Narendra Kumar, secretary, Furniture Cluster Meet on furniture industry scenario after iKea, e-retail etc. excerpts Do you think local furniture retailers need to be worry with the entry of IKEA in India?

of the employee. Storage space, security of belongings, comfort of seizing posture and adaptability,” he added further. Mr. Hussain of Papperfry talked about e-commerce opportunities and growth potential. He said, “The e-commerce space in India is about $ 30 million and core to the retail business it is 2.5 to 3%. The penetration is very low compared to counties like USA, China, etc which are growing by 12 to 13%. We are kind of retail with perception that e-commerce business is like international but the opportunity here as retail business with SMEs or mass manufacturers. E-commerce is supposed to be $ 90/95 billion business in India. We should make it at least 5% penetration with
No, not at all there is any threat among local players as the IKEA furniture ranges are basically ready to assemble, while Indian people either gets manufactured their furniture on site or want finished products. For the initial four to five years there would be no threat among local or small players, because IKEA is not only in furniture, they are concentrating on several products. IKEA offerings include 60% in furniture and rest of the items are interiors, outdoors and life style products. So, IKEA is not a threat but an opportunity for OEMs and traders to develop that business and to improve the quality. IKEA buys furniture from vendors at economical cost, what is your view? It is not all the products on cheaper costs, when we compare there are only a few products which is cheaper. What they offer is surely not at lesser prices. What they can do is to raise awareness among local manufacturers, so they will definitely change the quality and invest in designs. So, I think this is the right time to think about competition and we are ready to face the challenge. Are the e-commerce players helping furniture makers? Definitely no, because across the country
not all the products are box packaged or they are majorly readymade products. Now the customers want to feel the products, so if there is any online order that is most probably after examining the product physically at showrooms. For Electronic industry e-commerce may be success but for furniture industry surely they are failure till date. What are the major challenges for the furniture makers? They have their own projects or orders, only thing is they could not able to upgrade themselves. They were into a small pond and are doing but they have not carried out their up gradation. Another challenge again is labour, they are also not have been upgraded to the new machine. They are coming or available with what they have. They do not think to the next generation or future prospects. But with these types of clusters we are raising awareness level and looking for upgradation and automation of the process and increase efficiency. Why don’t you are organising technical kind of seminar which can increase awareness level among those unprivileged people? We are organising so many things in terms of raising awareness among people. We are also training people for CNC routing. In every three months around 100 people will come out with total skills of operating CNC routing machines. So, we will have so many CNC upgraded operators.
overall retail sales that India targets. We can see lot of growth happening in the online space but this space is not just for furniture. Out of $30 million e-commerce business 8 to 9% is online for furniture that is $ 3 million is happening in online space which is a good number. We are trying to grow by 60% in this space by the next three years that will make this business to next level.”
