Industry Outlook

The handloom and handicraft industry is the backbone of the rural economy of India, it's the second-largest rural income provider after agriculture and accounts for a significant share of the country’s exports.

Official estimates suggest that India is home to 7 million artisans, however, data from unofficial sources indicate that the number is as high as 200 million. This difference is huge because of the informal and unorganized nature of this sector.

Indian handicrafts are exported to many countries, with the top destinations being the UK, USA, Germany, UAE, Latin American countries (LAC), France, Italy, Canada, Netherlands, and Australia. The items, which account for a major share of export turnover, include - art metalware, hand-printed textiles, woodware, hand-knotted and embroidered textiles, stoneware, leather goods, paintings and sculpture, jewelry, and antique & collectibles. The scope of the handicrafts industry in India is promising - be it traditional Indian arts and crafts or a customized version of an overseas art form. Unlike in the past when the industry was struggling to carve a niche in the market, there is a great demand for Indian handicrafts today that is being nurtured by different government and non-governmental organizations.

Additionally, the Government of India increased incentive rates under the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS) from 5% to 7% for handicraft items. This will help exporters to recover the input costs involved in the manufacturing of handicrafts and will lead to competitive pricing and boost export.

The industrial revolution and the increasing productivity had slowed down the growth and the quality of arts and crafts, but for some decades now, the scenario has changed and machine-made products no longer attract people. Presently handicrafts are being considered vocational media and it also opts for style statements and leisure pursuits.
