India is adding nearly 25 million new urban residents every five years, and this rapid shift is reshaping how people build, furnish, and upgrade their homes. As modular kitchens, space-saving wardrobes, and modern storage systems become mainstream, the demand for high-quality hinges, channels, drawer systems, and smart fittings is growing faster than ever.
The country’s economic momentum is also accelerating this evolution. Meanwhile, over 4 million new housing units were delivered across major cities in the past three years, driving large-scale requirement for structured, premium hardware.
The rise of organized OEMs, expansion of D2C modular brands, and greater exposure to global design trends are further pushing consumers toward branded, durable, and aesthetically superior hardware.
