First-of-Its-Kind India Sourcing Report: Glass & Metal Tableware Offers Buyers Quality Export Manufacturers and Industry Insight
Experienced manufacturers combine art with expertise to create contemporary designs of wine coolers, trays, pitchers, cake stands, fruit baskets and canisters for the kitchen and home
Philippines, Indonesia, June 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The first-ever India Sourcing Report: Glass & Metal Tableware (http://kearnyalliance.org/sourcingreports/ka_india_sourcing_report) shows that India glass and tableware manufacturers are focusing on contemporary designs, with the majority expecting export growth in the coming year.
Products offered for export by makers profiled in the India Sourcing Report include wine coolers, serving trays, pitchers, cake stands, bread baskets, fruit baskets, canisters and bar sets.
"Buyers are finding that India offers a competitive alternative - and often a profitable complementary supply base - to China sourcing,” said Alexander Boome, program director of the non-profit Kearny Alliance (http://www.kearnyalliance.org), which produced the report in partnership with Global Sources (http://www.globalsources.com).
In-factory visits with experienced exporters
The Kearny Alliance team visited each profiled supplier in person to compile the report, which offers details about supplier capability, and production, price and market forecasts for India's tableware industry. It features profiles of 27 manufacturers, plus descriptions, prices and packaging details for over 199 popular export products.
Of glass and metal tableware makers surveyed for the India Sourcing Report:
-- 68 percent anticipate growth in export sales;
-- 56 percent plan to target the EU market; and
-- 52 percent expect they will need to raise prices.
To help keep price hikes to a minimum, suppliers are focusing on developing their own facilities for processing metal or sourcing from South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and mainland China, and using recycled metal.
More big buyers focus on India
"India is a key Asia supply base for glass and metal tableware," Boome said. "Demand for India-made products is increasing, mainly due to their craftsmanship, design and suppliers' long history in the sector.
"In fact, Global Sources -- our partner in developing this report -- will host Private Sourcing Events (http://www.PrivateSourcingEvents.com) in New Delhi on June 24 and 25 for big buyers of Kitchen and Bathroom Storage Products and Dinnerware, Glassware and Drinkware. Participating buyers are:
-- Atico -- the largest sourcing and product development company in the U.S.
-- Casino -- France's largest convenience store operator
-- El Corte Ingles -- Spain's largest department store chain
-- Target Australia -- one of Australia's largest retailers
-- Test Rite -- one of Taiwan's largest trading companies
This shows the heightened focus buyers are now paying to India as an important supply hub.”
Export assistance program provides boost to developing economies in Asia
The India Sourcing Report: Glass & Metal Tableware aims to help buyers source from quality suppliers in developing Asia to advance the Kearny Alliance's mission of 'Aid through Trade'.
"The reports are professional business-to-business tools, written to connect sourcing professionals with quality suppliers so they can do business more profitably,” Boome said. "So, while our aim is to create lasting jobs in developing Asia, our approach is that of a social entrepreneur in support of trade.”
