As the festive season approaches, the Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) industry is witnessing a significant uptick in consumer demand, driven by the growing shift towards smart, tech-savvy homes. From energy-efficient lighting to advanced home automation systems, brands are aligning their product offerings with cutting-edge technology to meet the evolving preferences of modern consumers. With Diwali and other major festivals around the corner, the market is primed for a surge in sales, as households across India seek to upgrade their homes with smarter, more efficient electrical solutions.

Shifting Preferences and the Premiumization Trend

The Indian FMEG industry is undergoing a notable transformation, with consumers increasingly leaning towards premium, feature-rich products that enhance convenience and boost energy efficiency. This trend is particularly pronounced during the festive season when homeowners are more likely to invest in home improvements and renovations. From smart lighting systems to automated home controls, the focus is on integrating technology that offers convenience, sustainability, and enhanced safety.

As home automation continues to grow in popularity, the FMEG industry is capitalizing on this demand by launching innovative products designed to seamlessly integrate into modern homes. These innovations are no longer confined to luxury homes; mid-range households are also adopting smart home technology, with brands offering solutions tailored to different consumer segments.
