Mi has a whole range of consumer electronics
Though the China headquartered company retails a handful of consumer electronics in India, it has a whole range of consumer electronics that it retails in its home country. Mi has even opened a Mi Store in Bangalore where the company, apart from selling its existing range of consumer electronics, is also showcasing products that it has not launched in India till now.
The company, once it debuts its grooming range in India, will be competing against the likes of Philips, Panasonic, Syska and Nova . It is to be noted here that the consumer electronics grooming products market in the country is highly un-consolidated and there are areas where unbranded trimmers sell more than the branded ones.
India men’s grooming products market, as per Techsci Research, stood at $ 1.4 billion in 2016, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15 per cent, in value terms is expected to reach $ 3.3 billion by 2022. Rising number of consumers with early ageing problems, increasing disposable income and expanding young working population are aiding the India men’s grooming products market.
The report read, “Rapid urbanization and adoption of western culture along with changing lifestyle and awareness regarding the consumption of grooming products to reduce ageing problems, are some of the other factors expected to propel demand for India men’s grooming products over the next five years.”
